A 2-year-old boy was killed and other people were injured when a vehicle crashed into an Illinois restaurant Wednesday in what police said appears to have been an accident.
Police in Oswego, a village of 34,000 around 40 miles west of Chicago, responded to reports that a vehicle had crashed into a Portillo's location at 1:55 p.m., Police Chief Jason Bastin said.
The driver, a 50-year-old woman who was alone in the vehicle, crashed into the front entrance of the Chicago street-food-style restaurant on Route 34, he said.

"Our investigation is in its early stages, but preliminary information suggests that this was a tragic incident," Bastin said.
Fourteen people were injured, eight of whom were taken to area hospitals, he said.
The driver, who was among the eight who were taken to hospitals, was speaking after the crash, he said.
Three people have serious injuries, Oswego Fire Protection District Chief Josh Flanders said.
Bastin said the child who was killed was inside the restaurant.
"On behalf of the police and fire department, we extend our deepest condolences to the family during this devastating time," he said at a news conference.
The investigation is in its early stages, and Bastin said it was too early to know whether any charges would be filed.
