Six teens were killed after a horrific crash between a small car and an oil tanker at a rural intersection near the Alberta-Saskatchewan border.
Maidstone RCMP were dispatched to a semi-truck rollover about six km south of Lloydminster Saturday at about 4:20 a.m., arriving to find it had been involved in a collision with a four-door car that became submerged in a slough, RCMP Cpl. Rob King said.
The deceased — all of whom were riding in the car — have been identified as three girls and three boys between the ages of 13 and 17. One person found outside the car was rushed to hospital where they were pronounced dead.
The male driver of the rig suffered undetermined injuries but is the sole survivor of the deadly collision, King said.
King said he doesn't know who called in the crash and isn't certain if there are any witnesses other than the driver of the semi, which was hauling crude oil at the time.
"We have yet to speak to witnesses," King said Saturday afternoon. "We have yet to determine exactly when the accident happened."
Emergency crews were called to the scene at the two-lane Hwy. 17 and gravel Township Rd. 490 just after daylight broke.
King said the car, which would have had a stop sign, was travelling eastbound along the township road and somehow collided with the northbound rig.
RCMP have identified the deceased and notified their families. No names have been released.
It's believed several of the teens lived in rural areas, including the small town of Marshall just southeast of Lloydminster, where many residents were left reeling at news of the tragedy.
Brent Underwood, owner of Marshall Hotel, choked up as he described seeing RCMP at the local Legion hall speaking with relatives of victims of the crash.
Marshall, home to many oil workers, is a small community of about 600 with a convenience store, hotel and library.
"I know them all," Underwood said.
He said seeing the pain in the faces of fellow residents in the bedroom community is difficult, especially while waiting to learn more about what happened.
"It's just knowing all these people, seeing all the sadness and still not knowing the facts," Underwood said.
"It's a pretty close-knit community — when it comes to kids, everyone knows everyone."
Lloydminster is about 250 km east of Edmonton.
