A tragic single-car crash has killed four people and wounded two others Saturday afternoon when the vehicle split in half.
At around 2:24 p.m., the car carrying the six victims lost control and crashed into a tree in Hickory Hills, Illinois.
Authorities declined to identify the victims but said that two died at the scene. Witnesses were left in shock after the collision.
“I have never seen anything like it,” one said. “It was bad, tragic. I think they just, like, started flying because there is a hill. So I am thinking they just revved up the engine and they just flew into the tree.”
The circumstances surrounding the deadly crash are being investigated as detectives suspect speed as a contributing factor.
