“When officers arrived, they located a black, two-door hatchback in the ditch,” Const. Lisa Moskaluk said in a statement released Wednesday. “There were seven youths in the vehicle at the time of the collision.”
Multiple occupants were hurt and two of them suffered life-threatening injuries.
One of the victims has since passed away as a result of those injuries, Moskaluk said.
“Investigators are now appealing for any witnesses who may have seen the vehicle — a black, two-door hatchback — in the area at the time,” she said.
Any witnesses who have not yet spoken to police, and anyone who may have dashcam footage of the area around the time of the crash, is urged to call police at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7704, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
