Four people are dead after a vehicle crashed through an after-school center in Chatham on Monday afternoon.

Tarter said the vehicle crashed into the east side of the building, entering the structure and exiting through the west wall. He also noted that three of those killed were struck before the vehicle entered the building, and the remaining person killed was struck inside.
Several other people were taken by ambulance to area hospitals while one person was flown for treatment.
Tarter said the driver was the sole occupant of the vehicle and was not injured; the driver was taken to an area hospital.

Chatham Baptist Church has been established as a family reunification center.
Walnut Street is closed from Park Street to Gordon Drive as the investigation continues.
