CHICAGO – A coroner has identified the four high school students killed when their car skidded off a bridge into an icy creek in rural northern Illinois.

Will County Coroner Patrick O’Neil said 14-year-old Matthew Bailey, 15-year-old Cody Carter, 17-year-old Cheyenne Fender and 15-year-old Micalah Sembach died in the accident. O’Neil said all four teenagers were from Wilmington, about 60 miles southwest of Chicago.

The coroner said the students were in a car registered to Fender. Authorities still are investigating who was driving.
