Two females, the 18-year-old driver from Salmo and a 15-year-old front passenger from Warfield, managed to escape the sinking car but an 18-year-old woman and 15-year-old boy in the back seat were trapped.
In a news release, Badry says the missing teens, both from Fruitvale, are feared dead, although their bodies have not been found.He says the Volkswagen went into the river at a bend along the paved, ice-free road, and a cause remains under investigation.Is there more to this story?
