The vehicle lost control on a curve, crossed into oncoming traffic and struck a curb before becoming airborne.

The vehicle went over the creek, cleared it and came to a rest in a ravine on the opposite side of the creek, the sheriff's office said.

The Will County Sheriff's Office said three people were inside the car when it left the road.

Video from Chopper 7 showed the car mangled, leaving tire tracks in the dirt, with debris scattered on the road's bank and in what appears to be a nearby marsh.

Bundled up Will County deputies scoured the crash scene, looking for clues that could explain why the car left the roadway in the first place.

There were no other vehicles involved.

The mangled car was towed away, while deputies remained on the scene for hours.

A person who lives nearby said cars often speed on the stretch of 135th near Archer.

Charges have not been filed for the driver, but are being reviewed at this time.
