 Will County Coroner Patrick O'Neil says 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 says all four teenagers were from Wilmington, about 60 miles southwest of Chicago.
The coroner says the students were in a car registered to Fender. Authorities are still investigating who was driving.
The Will County Sheriff's Department says the bodies were recovered Tuesday from Forked Creek near Wilmington. Officials say the teens had been missing since Monday evening. Authorities don't know exactly when the accident occurred.
Authorities say the driver likely lost control after hitting a patch of water or ice.
