Bradley Lund, an 8-year-old boy, has tragically passed away following a devastating accident in Chatham, Illinois, where a vehicle struck children attending an after-school program. The Sangamon County Coroner confirmed Lund’s death on Monday at HSHS St. John’s Hospital in Springfield, citing multiple blunt force injuries sustained in the crash.
