Four men killed in crash: police
|
CREST HILL (STMW) -- Four men were killed when the Lexus they were inside apparently struck at tree and overturned early Saturday in southwest suburban Crest Hill.
Police responded about 1:30 a.m. to a crash in the 2000 block of Weber Road -- about a block north of Knapp Street -- and found a black Lexus overturned, Crest Hill police Sgt. Tony Rossetti said.
Three men were found inside the car and one man was ejected, according to Lockport Township Fire Protection District Battalion Chief John Kure, who said all four men were pronounced dead at the scene. He said the men appeared to be in their mid-20s to early 30s.
Kure said it appeared the vehicle struck a tree and overturned.
Police said the Will County Coroner was sent to the scene. The coroner’s office was not immediately available to confirm the deaths Saturday morning.
The men had not been positively identified early Saturday, according to Rossetti.
Police found the car near a tree and multiple Commonwealth Edison poles, but police could not immediately confirm whether the car actually struck any one of the objects, Rossetti said.
Weber Road was closed for a police investigation for about four hours, the sergeant said.
The cause of the crash remained under investigation early Saturday, according to Rossetti, who could not immediately say if alcohol, drugs or weather were a factor in the crash.
