BROADVIEW, Saskatchewan, Aug. 10 (UPI) -- A van-train collision in western Canada killed four people, including three children, and left a mother and her son injured, authorities said.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the dead included an 18-year-old woman from near Whitewood, Saskatchewan, an 11-year-old girl from Chestermere, Alberta, and a 7-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl from Turner Valley, Alberta.
Injured were the driver of the camper van, a 15-year-old boy and his 42-year-old mother, both of Turner Valley. The woman also is the mother of the two Turner Valley children who died.
The names of the victims, who were all in the van, had not been released.
Authorities said the crash occurred about 6:45 p.m. Thursday at an uncontrolled rail crossing on a road south off the Trans-Canada Highway, just east of Broadview, Saskatchewan.
The RCMP said the van was southbound on the rural road and the Canadian Pacific train was westbound.
