Hundreds of people are expected to attend funerals in two Saskatchewan towns for four of the six teenagers killed in a car crash last weekend.
Today, friends, relatives and members of the public are attending services at the Lloydminster Exhibition, starting at 10 a.m. MT, for Aimie Hurley, 14, Mackenzie Moen, 14, and Naomi Salas-Schafer, 13 who are all from the city.
The hall can hold up to 2,000 people and a large turnout was expected
The funeral for 16-year-old Jayden Boettcher will be held in the Three Links Hall in his hometown of Marshall, Sask., at 1 p.m. MT.
The first of the funerals was held Friday in the small town of Lashburn, Sask., as people gathered to pay respects to 15-year-old Tarren Attfield.
The teens were killed when their car collided with a tanker truck last weekend on a country road near Lloydminster, which straddles the Alberta-Saskatchewan border. The driver of the truck remains in hospital.
The final funeral, for 17-year-old Kristopher Tavener of Marshall, will be held Tuesday afternoon in Lashburn, which is near Lloydminster.
The teenagers come from small communities and their loss has been felt deeply. Fundraisers have been held to support the families in paying for the funerals, while vigils have been held all week at the crash site and at the schools the teens attended.
The RCMP has said it could be months before they figure out details of how the collision happened.
