5th Child Dies After Day Camp Crash

An 8-year-old boy named Bradley Lund died Monday after a car crashed into a Chatham after-school facility on April 28, 2025.
The crash occurred when a vehicle driven by Marianne Akers left the road, traveled through a field, and entered the YNOT After School Camp building.
The Jeep struck children playing inside the gymnasium section, killing Bradley and four others, including three girls aged 7 to 8 and an 18-year-old counselor.
Toxicology screenings for Akers showed no presence of alcohol or drugs, and officials from the Illinois State Police indicated that a medical condition may have contributed to the crash.
Investigations by Sangamon County Coroner, Illinois State Police, and State's Attorney remain ongoing with no charges filed against Akers yet.
