<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>"Our investigation is in its early stages, but preliminary information suggests that this was a tragic incident," Bastin said.</p>
<p>Fourteen people were injured, eight of whom were taken to area hospitals, he said.</p>
<p>The driver, who was among the eight who were taken to hospitals, was speaking after the crash, he said.</p>
<p>Three people have serious injuries, Oswego Fire Protection District Chief Josh Flanders said.</p>
<p>Bastin said the child who was killed was inside the restaurant.</p>
<p>"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.</p>
<p>The investigation is in its early stages, and Bastin said it was too early to know whether any charges would be filed.</p>
