Enbridge Inc. says it has shut down an oil pipeline from Canada to the U.S. after a vehicle accident in Illinois killed two people early Saturday morning.

The collision near New Lenox caused a fire just after 2 a.m. CT in the pumping station and killed two men, according to local reports.

Enbridge, in a statement Sunday, called the incident a "tragic vehicle collision unrelated to our operations."

Three others were reportedly injured in the crash.
