*UPDATE* ONE VICTIM DIES Four youth hurt in Kapuskasing accident

UPDATE: OPP are reporting that the 17-year-old girl has died and the 15-year-old boy remains in hospital.

Two teenagers are in what police call “life-threatening condition” following a single-vehicle accident in Kapuskasing Friday night.

OPP say they were called to Cargill Road at about 8:15pm.  All four occupants of the SUV were hurt.  The second two were treated at hospital and released.

All that OPP will say is that the victims are two boys — one is 15, the other 16 — and two girls, aged 16 and 17.

Neither will they say whether the four were wearing seatbelts, despite the last line of the news release saying “The OPP is reminding motorists to drive with caution and to wear seatbelts.”

Cargill Road was closed overnight, but has since reopened as the investigation continues.
