Six teens, ranging in age from 13 to 17, were killed when their two-door Pontiac Sunfire — which had seatbelts for five — collided with a semi truck at 4:20 a.m. on Saturday at an intersection south of Lloydminster.

“It’s a bad scene when you have six dead bodies, and six young dead bodies,” said Cpl. Rob King, spokesperson for the RCMP in Saskatchewan.

Cpl. King said investigators typically require up to 90 days to finish their first reports from the scene of an accident.

Toxicology findings could take months, he said.

“The investigation right now is in its preliminary stages. It will take some time to determine exactly what happened during the collision and in the moments before the collision,” he said.
