The Mounties say the detachment’s criminal collision investigation team has taken over the investigation.
But Cpl. Mike Kalanj says police need the public’s help as they investigate the crash.
RCMP are asking anyone with video footage captured along Hastings Street and surrounding roads east of Springer Avenue between 12:30 and 12:45 p.m. Saturday to contact them, along with any witnesses who have yet to speak with police.
“We are doing everything we can to support the families and loved ones of these children, but we need the public’s assistance here,” Kalanj says in the statement.
