More than a dozen people were hurt and a 2-year-old boy is dead after a car crashed into a Portillo’s restaurant in west suburban Oswego on Wednesday afternoon.

Oswego police responded to the restaurant at 2810 Route 34 around 1:55 p.m.

In total, 14 people were hurt and eight were taken to local hospitals. Six others were treated at the scene and released, police said. Of those hospitalized, three are listed in critical condition.
