A horrific collision between a Canadian Pacific train and a camper van has left three children and an 18-year-old woman dead and two others injured.
RCMP Cpl. Rob King said the collision took place Thursday evening about 7 p.m. at an uncontrolled crossing near Broadview, Sask.
The children were two seven-year-olds, a boy and a girl, and an 11-year-old girl.
The van was being driven by a 15-year-old boy. He sustained serious injuries and was taken to hospital in Regina by air ambulance.
King said it is legal in Saskatchewan for a 15-year-old to drive a vehicle if they have a learner's permit and an adult in the vehicle with them.
A 42-year-old woman who was a passenger in the van was taken to the local hospital in Broadview. King said he didn't know the extent of her injuries.
