The 14-year-old lone survivor of a single vehicle accident near Lestock on Sunday tried to rescue his three fellow passengers, but was unsuccessful.
Punnichy RCMP report that they were called to the site of the accident three miles north of Lestock at 7:50 p.m. A white two-door car had lost control while traveling north on the Pudding Hill Road, where it flipped and landed submerged in a water-filled ditch at an intersection.
Fourteen-year-old Chase Moise of the Muskowekwan First Nation was the only one of four passengers to escape the vehicle. The teen returned immediately to the vehicle and managed to pull its driver out and onto the car's overturned belly. Moise was able to briefly revive the driver - an 18-year-old male from the Muskowekwan First Nation whose name has not been released - using CPR, but he later died due to his injuries. Moise entered the car again and removed the seat belts from the two ten-year-old girls still trapped inside, but found them both pinned by the collision. He ran to a nearby house and called 911.
Police and EMS arrived quickly and pulled the two girls from the vehicle, but found all three passengers deceased at the scene.
Ten-year-old Kyria Moise of the Muskowekwan First Nation is the only one of the deceased passengers whose name has been released as of press time. It is not known how the car's four passengers were related to one another.
Punnichy RCMP continue to investigate the collision.
