Chief Of Manitoba Reserve Calls For Change After Two Teens Killed In Joyride

Darpan News Desk, 02 Aug, 2016 12:24 PM

BLOODVEIN, Man. — The chief of a Manitoba reserve where two teens were killed in a weekend rollover says he wants everyone in the community to work at preventing deadly joyrides in the future.

RCMP have said nine children were riding in a pickup truck when it rolled outside the Bloodvein First Nation, north of Winnipeg, early Saturday.

Two girls, aged 13 and 14, died and three others were taken to a Winnipeg hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.

Chief Roland Hamilton says the 14-year-old driver had taken her parents' truck without permission late Friday afternoon.

He says she remains in hospital with a spinal injury and may require surgery.

Hamilton says that after funerals are held he wants the band to discuss prevention strategies and involve parents and police in the discussion.
