Police said the teen and most of her passengers had fled the scene by the time they arrived, but two were found nearby shortly after.

No one was injured inside the home, but two SUV passengers were taken to Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove with injuries that were not serious, officials said.

The driver, who is not being identified because of her age, was cited with making an improper turn and leaving the scene of a personal injury accident; she also was arrested and charged with DUI. She was released on bond, police said.
