2 killed in Woodridge late Sunday night after car crashes into home, bursts into flames
WOODRIDGE, Ill. — Two people were killed in a fiery crash late Sunday night when a car veered off the road and slammed into a home in west suburban Woodridge. The crash happened at Kildeer Street and Janes Avenue, the Lisle-Woodridge Fire District said. Somehow, the driver of a Tesla lost control of the vehicle, went off the road, hit several trees and crashed into the side of a house. The car then burst into flames, and firefighters subsequently removed two bodies from the smoking wreckage. Both people had been inside the car when it crashed. The DuPage County Coroner's Office has not yet released the identity of the people killed, with autopsies scheduled for later Monday.

It's not clear if the third injury was to someone inside the home that the Tesla crashed into. The fire caused significant damage to the side of the home and the garage area. Police have also not yet confirmed the chain of events that led up to the crash, but the Woodridge police chief told WGN excessive speed may have been a factor. 'Just all of a sudden I heard a bang from my house,' neighbor Adam Fick said. '… It's kind of surreal.' Another neighbor, who identified himself only as Jason, said the crash was very loud. 'I was just sitting in the house with my wife and my son, getting ready to put my son to bed. We heard a couple loud booms,' Jason said. 'We first thought it was someone just blowing fireworks in the neighborhood, then we heard another boom probably about 20 seconds later.'
