On a quiet country road at the edge of Barrie, Ont., a makeshift memorial of bouquets tied to a wooden box with police tape drew mourners to the area where six young adults — many of them athletes — were killed in a crash over the weekend.
Several people wiped away tears when they stopped by on Monday to pay their respects, as a police car blocked access to the site of the single-vehicle collision that took place in a construction zone further down the lane.
Police said four men and two women who were reported missing on Saturday were believed to be the six people found dead in a crash early Sunday.
Aerial television footage from CTV News and CP24 showed a large circular pit in the middle of the road where the crash took place, with damaged barriers around it.
