CALEDONIA Six Nations community members are mourning two fathers who died in a crash between a stolen pickup and a transport truck.

Provincial police said John Hill, 29, and Peter Bomberry, 33, both of Six Nations, were killed in the crash around 1:45 a.m. Monday at Highway 6 and Fifth Line.

Hill was driving the pickup and Bomberry was the front-seat passenger.

The pickup truck was registered to a New Brunswick address and was reported stolen in Halton Region on Aug. 21.

Haldimand County OPP said speed, not wearing seatbelts and not stopping at a stop sign are being considered as possible factors in the crash.

According to their obituaries posted at RHB Anderson Funeral Homes, both men had sons and leave behind large extended families.

Bomberry's 28-year-old wife, Brandi, died in a car crash in June 2012.

Six Nations Chief Ava Hill was not available for comment.

However, council spokesperson Chelsey Johnson called the crash a tragedy, adding that many people in the community are grieving.

Police say the transport was southbound on Highway 6 when it was hit broadside by the eastbound 2005 Chevy pickup. The impact sent the pickup into the south ditch and the transport truck into the shoulder of Highway 6.

Fifth Line is controlled by stop signs in both directions.

OPP Constable Mark Foster said it appears the pickup didn't stop.

None of the occupants was thrown from the pickup.

OPP previously said none of the truck occupants was known to police.

Josh Burnham, 30, also of Six Nations, had to be extricated from the back of the pickup and remains in serious condition in Hamilton General Hospital.

Burnham's family declined to comment to The Spectator through hospital staff.

The driver of the transport truck, 56-year-old Ted Rowe of Glencoe, just west of London, was not injured.
