A memorial has sprung up at the intersection in Gilbert Plains that was the site of a tragic accident which claimed the lives of four teenagers, last week.

On Mar. 29, at approximately 10:50 p.m., Dauphin RCMP received numerous calls about a motor vehicle collision involving a semi-trailer and a car at the junction of Hwy. 5 and PR 274.

Initial investigation determined that a car with five occupants was travelling northbound on PR 274 into the town of Gilbert Plains when it failed to stop at the stop sign.

A semi-trailer was travelling eastbound on Hwy. 5, and the car struck the trailer portion of the semi-trailer. Two 17-year-old males and one 18-year-old male, the driver, were pronounced dead at the scene. All were from the Dauphin area. An 18-year-old female from Carberry was transported to hospital, where she was pronounced dead. A 15-year-old female from the RM of Dauphin was transported to hospital with serious injuries, where she remains.

The 30-year-old male driver of the semi, from Saskatoon, was not physically injured in the collision.

The investigation continues with the assistance of a RCMP Forensic Collision Reconstructionist.
