Chain reaction crash kills 3 teens
Three teenage boys are dead after a four-vehicle crash on Highway 6 Sunday afternoon – one of four fatal crashes in the province this past weekend.
The crash happened south of Spalding at a construction site around 4:20 p.m. A flagperson was on the road where a Cavalier was stopped behind a Dodge pick-up truck. As they waited for their turn to proceed through the construction zone, a semi driving north on the highway slammed into the back of the Cavalier. The Cavalier then hit the Dodge, which hit the 21-year-old man working as the flagperson. The Dodge also hit the pilot vehicle, which had a driver inside at the time.
The Dodge and the pilot vehicle came to rest in the west ditch.
Three teenage boys from Carrot River were in the Cavalier, aged 14, 15 and 17. All three were pronounced dead at the scene.
