CHICAGO — Seven members of an extended family who died in a crash on the Indiana Toll Road will be buried in their home country, a spokesman for the Ecuadorian Consulate in Chicago said Saturday.

Alberto Rebelo said the consulate is offering relatives of the victims as much information as possible, including financial and legal help and how to have the bodies properly transported back to Ecuador. He said it was the wish of surviving family members that their relatives be buried in Ecuador.

Ten members of the family were in a minivan on the toll road about 8 p.m. Thursday when it hit a deer and then was hit by a semi.
