As authorities identify the four young people killed this week after a vehicle crashed into their after-school camp in Illinois, loved ones of the victims are speaking out.

On Monday, April 28, at approximately 3:20 p.m. local time, a vehicle “left the road for unknown reasons, traveled through a field and into the east side” of the YNOT (Youth Needing Other Things) Outdoors Summer Camp, which is located at 301 Breckenridge Road in Chatham, the Illinois State Police (ISP) confirmed in an X post on Tuesday.

“The car traveled through the building striking numerous individuals before exiting the other side,” police added.

The Sangamon County Coroner’s Office has since identified the four young girls who died in the tragedy as Rylee Britton, 18, of Springfield; Ainsley Johnson, 8, of Chatham; Alma Buhnerkempe, 7, of Chatham and Kathryn Corley, 7, of Chatham, per a news release shared on Facebook.

“The Sangamon County Coroner, Jim Allmon, has identified the four students killed in the motor vehicle versus pedestrian incident in Chatham yesterday. All four girls were pronounced deceased at the scene,” Tuesday’s post read.

“Postmortem procedures done today indicate that they all died from multiple blunt force injuries sustained in the incident,” the coroner’s office stated, adding, “The deaths remain under investigation by the Sangamon County Coroner, the Illinois State Police and the Chatham Police Department.”
