The Sangamon County Coroner's Office said in a statement on Facebook that the victims killed in the Monday, April 28, incident in Chatham were Kathryn Corley, 7; Alma Buhnerkempe, 7; Ainsley Johnson, 8; and Rylee Britton, 18. All four were pronounced dead at the scene.
All four girls were pronounced dead at the scene, according to the coroner's office, which added that postmortem procedures indicate they all died from multiple blunt force injuries suffered in the incident. Police said they do not believe the crash was a targeted attack. They identified the driver as a 44-year-old Chatham woman and said she is not in custody as the cause of the crash remains under investigation.
