After the tragic events which took place early Saturday, students have returned to Bathurst High School.
On Saturday, the Bathurst High Phantoms basketball team met with an accident killing seven members of the team and the wife of the team’s coach, who was also an elementary school teacher. The team was returning from a game in Moncton, New Brunswick. Their ban fish-tailed and slammed into a truck head-on.
The team was only minutes away from where the parents of the players were waiting for thier arrival. The young athletes were between the ages of 15 to 17 years. The teacher was 51 years old. Her husband, who was driving the van, and his daughter were among four survivors.
The small community is still in shock. Counsellors have been made available for students and staff at the high school.
A wake will be held on Tuesday and a funeral for crash victims will be on Wednesday. Both the wake and funeral will be open to the public.
