Substance use ruled out in deadly daycare crash – KWQC

Akers drove into an after-school daycare, killing four in Chatham, Illinois.
According to the Chatham Police Department, the incident happened around 3:20 p.m. Monday at the YNOT after-school daycare at 301 Breckenridge Road.
Police said the vehicle hit multiple people outside of the building before going through the building and exiting on the other side.
