Police say two teenagers were among the dead in a single-vehicle crash in Fredericton early Sunday morning that claimed the lives of three people and left two others with injuries.
During a news conference Monday, Fredericton police Chief Martin Gaudet said the victims were a 17-year-old boy, a 16-year-old girl and a 22-year-old man.
As well, a 16-year-old boy was critically injured and airlifted to the IWK Health Centre in Halifax, and a 14-year-old girl was treated for injuries.
“It’s a tragedy for the community, it’s a parent’s worst nightmare, and it’s a difficult call for first responders to attend,” Gaudet said.
Out of respect for the victims’ families, police are not releasing the names of the deceased. They are also not disclosing the relationships between the people in the car.
Gaudet said shortly before 1 a.m. Sunday, officers attempted to stop a vehicle approaching a patrol car at a high speed.
“Our officer activated the emergency lights, but the vehicle failed to stop. The officer lost sight of the vehicle in question and disengaged,” he said.
