Three young people are dead and a fourth is in hospital with life-threatening injuries after a single-vehicle crash on a gravel road near Hanover on Tuesday. All four teens were students at John Diefenbaker Senior School (JDSS) in Hanover and were between the ages of 15 and 17, said West Grey Police Const. Allyson Iles said. Three of the teens, two boys and a girl, were thrown from the vehicle and died at the scene.

Upon arriving at the scene, troopers observed a gray 2019 Honda Civic off the roadway in a nearby wooded area with significant damage to its passenger side, according to the Bristol County District Attorney's Office. Two occupants had been ejected from the vehicle, officials said. One of those ejected was pronounced dead at the scene and was later identified as Gabriel Bertolino Siqueira, 17, of West Yarmouth, a senior at Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School.

Local News Police are continuing to investigate the cause of the crash. A car crashed into a telephone on Tuesday night, killing three teenagers in New Hampshire, according to police.

The Ford continued along the shoulder before rolling over onto its roof. Police say the crash threw the occupants from the vehicle. They were dead when troopers and emergency medical personnel arrived.
