RCMP have released the names of four boys killed in a car accident near Moncton, N.B., over the weekend, saying they don't believe alcohol was to blame for the crash.

Police say that around 8 p.m. Saturday, the four 16-year-olds were in car following another vehicle on Ammon Road. The car was attempting to pass the vehicle on a solid-line stretch of road and on a blind hill when it collided with a pickup truck coming the other way, carrying two people. The truck passengers survived with minor injuries, but the four boys died at the scene.

They've been identified as Jimmy Dunphy, Brandon Hupman, Corey Doucet and Jared Storey, all students at Harrison Trimble High School.

Sgt. Maurice Comeau said police are still investigating but they don't believe alcohol was a factor in the collision.

"The drivers are young, 16 years old. This would be their first year with their driver's licence, and we're pretty sure that probably experience played a role here, you know.")


This has been on my mind. It's shocking to see that 4 boys were taken away in a instant. The loss is overpowering. I didn't know these boy myself but I know some that do and it's such a tragedy. I have been reading the memories pages on facebook. I'm impressed at how many hearts these 4 angel faced boys touched. But there is one editor that writes for the Moncton times that touched my heart. I put his link up. Th link is called Brian Cormier's Blogtastic World! He wrote such a beautiful life lesson about this I cried and cried. And finally had a true understanding about life and death.

It has help me understand the way I have been feeling about Bruce's death. His death has really taken a toll on me. The loss of him has taken the breath out of me at times. It has been so overwhelming at times I can't speak and just want to be left alone. A song comes on the radio or a certain word can set me off. The loss of him has really been hard. And the only one that understands is Mel. I have talk to her a bit about but I haven't let it all out because she is grieving so much herself.

She broke down after she gave birth to Ty. When she realize her dad won't ever get to meet him. I just hug and kissed her but I didn't know how to make it better. I remembering saying to myself when Ty came out " Look it, Bruce he's beautiful. I bet your so proud of your daughter today! I wish you were here to tell her how much you love her and let her know that she did a wonderful job. And that your so proud to be Ty Granddad." But he wasn't there and I cried my silent tears later at home. But I felt guilty for feeling this way. But today when I read this man blog I understood why. Others may not get what I got out of it. But he made me understand things I truly didn't understand.

I know my daughter and I will get through this one. It may be a long road to travel but we have traveled long road before. We will get to the end of this road. Then travel a different one but with lighter steps. But at least we have each other. Just like those 4 boys a committee came together to heal and that is truly amazing!

Anywho on to another day. But this time I think I will breath a little better. I have a lot to be thankful for a beautiful daughter and cute, cuddly, adorable. beautiful grandson,family and wonderful friends that will get me through the day. So I'm sending each of you much love and many hugs to get you through it all!
