Families of Ontario students who survived fatal Texas crash release statements | CP24.com
(L-R) Dayton Price, Hayden Underhill
''The Price family said they are grateful for those who arrived first to the scene and cared for the boys.
“We are eternally grateful and wish to thank all the first responders and those who arrived on scene to assist in ensuring Dayton and Hayden were well cared for,” they said.
They also thanked their community. “We are inspired and uplifted by the generosity and outpouring of support from our family, our friends, friends of friends, the USW family and the people of West Texas," the statement read.
On Thursday, the Underhill family issued their own statement, stating that “Hayden continues to make progress.”
“We are grateful to the many people who have expressed their best wishes towards him and our family, and have aided us in some way,” the statement read.
“We are also thinking of Dayton and the Price family as he begins his own recovery.”
The Underhills said they're remaining focused on their son at this time and are asking the public for privacy.
The Price family said their thoughts and prayers are with the Underhill family.''
I wonder if these were the only two who were wearing their seatbelts. I could be wrong of course. jmo. However, the article said that some of the occupants weren't wearing seatbelts. It felt so jarring to read that anyone would choose to be in a car, driven by a child, with several others in the vehicle, and not wear a seatbelt.
I expect that the two boys from Ontario grew up with strict rules about wearing seatbelts. Almost everyone in Ontario wears seat belts and has been doing so for longer than the lifetime of these young men. Perhaps habitual use of seatbelts has saved their lives. moo
