Oh my goodness my heart breaks for their poor families.![]()
North Wales: Four missing teens drowned after crash, inquest hears
The bodies of Hugo Morris, Harvey Owen, Wilf Fitchett and Jevon Hirst were found in a crashed car.www.bbc.co.uk
An inquest into the deaths of four teenagers killed in a car crash has heard that all four of them drowned.
Wilf Fitchett, Jevon Hirst, Harvey Owen and Hugo Morris, from the Shrewsbury area, were found in an overturned, partially submerged car in Gwynedd, north Wales.
The boys - one aged 16, two aged 17 and one aged 18 - were discovered on Tuesday, 21 November.
A search was launched after they failed to return home from a camping trip.
The opening of an inquest at Caernarfon, Gwynedd, heard post mortem examinations on all four teenagers showed the provisional cause of death to be drowning in all four cases.
Poor kids.
This is essentially one of the worst outcomes imaginable I really done know how the families even begin to come to terms with this - I was hoping they’d have died from catastrophic injuries caused on impact - at least then the families would’ve known they probably had no idea and it was over fast.
I can’t begin to imagine the likely panic from the four boys in the car - I just hope they were knocked unconscious on impact and that they weren’t fighting for their lives trying to escape the car.
The car was found partially submerged in water - I wonder if water levels receded since the Sunday and prior to them receding the car was fully submerged that would explain why nobody spotted the car until Tuesday morning. (Sunday was torrential rain - the Monday/Tuesday were drier).
My thoughts and prayers are with the four families.
RIP boys.
