Overview

  • RCMP identified the victims as JJ Wright, 18, Cameron Casorso, 18, and Caden Fine, 17, who were headed to practice when their car collided with a gravel-hauling semi near Stavely; the 40-year-old truck driver sustained minor injuries.
  • Police reconstructionists are examining the scene, and Alberta’s Transportation Ministry says it will conduct its own assessment of the Highway 2 and 55 Avenue crossing.
  • According to RCMP, the semi was travelling north on Highway 2 when the passenger vehicle crossed east through an at‑grade intersection controlled by stop signs with flashing lights.
  • Tributes have come from across Canada, including condolences from Prime Minister Mark Carney, a moment of silence at an NHL game, and messages from the Humboldt Broncos and NHL figures.
  • The community has set up a memorial at the Stavely Arena, a GoFundMe to assist families, and a benefit game planned for Sunday evening at the Stavely rink.
