A tragic accident occurred in Wilmington today when four teenagers lost their lives after the car they were in crashed into a creek.
According to a report from the Chicago Tribune: The four families spent the night in anguish, waiting for their children—friends from high school—who never returned home. At dawn, the heartbreaking truth was revealed: a car had been found flipped over in a creek, and inside were the bodies of two boys and two girls aged 14 to 17. The four had been driving along Ballou Road late at night when their two-door Mitsubishi plunged into Forked Creek just west of Warner Bridge Road. Around 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, a school bus driver spotted a tire sticking out of the water. Authorities arrived, and emergency crews discovered that the guardrail on the Ballou Road bridge over Forked Creek was missing. A dive team was called in and found at least one body inside the vehicle. A tow truck later pulled the Mitsubishi from the creek, and a blue tent was set up as the bodies were removed. Cheyenne, one of the victims, had obtained her driver’s license in June and owned a Mitsubishi. Since she had held her license for less than a year, she was only allowed to have one passenger in the car. This detail adds to the growing concern over teen driving safety in the area.
