A 2-year-old was killed and 13 other people were injured Wednesday afternoon when a car crashed into a Portillo’s restaurant in Oswego, Illinois. Oswego Police Chief Jason Bastin said, shortly before 2 p.m., a 2011 Lincoln MKZ crashed into the Portillo’s on U.S. Route 34 near Douglas Road.
Fourteen people were injured in the crash. Eight of them were taken to the hospital, and six were treated at the scene. Bastin said one of the victims, a 2-year-old boy who was inside the restaurant, died at the hospital. Three other people were seriously injured, fire officials said. The driver, a 50-year-old woman, was among those being treated at the hospital, according to Bastin. Police said the driver was alone in the car and talking before she was taken to the hospital, but didn’t elaborate on what she said or what may have caused the collision. Everyone else who was hurt was inside the restaurant at the time of the crash.
