Twin Brothers Identified As Victims Of An After Hours Accident At Calgary Bobsled Track

The Canadian Press, 07 Feb, 2016 01:17 PM
    CALGARY — The owner of the facility where two 17-year-old brothers died during an after-hours visit to a Calgary luge-bobsled track says the pair worked for the organization last winter.
     
    WinSport issued a news release Sunday that says Jordan and Evan Caldwell worked as "Hill Ambassadors" last season.
     
    The release says WinSport has sought support for staff members, and it has set up two memorials at different locations within the facility.
     
     
    The boys, who were twins, were killed early Saturday when they and six other male teens used a personal sled to go down the bobsled track at Canada Olympic Park.
     
    The group hit a large gate used to separate the luge and bobsled tracks, killing the brothers and injuring the remaining six.
     
    WinSport says it is helping police with their investigation, and has also set up its own internal probe.
