A heartbroken congregation prayed last night for two brothers, aged nine and six, who died yesterday following a tragic car crash a day earlier.
Their grief-stricken parents asked the public to pray for their third son, who was clinging to life in B.C. Children's Hospital last night, suffering from a spinal injury.
The family's Toyota minivan with eight people inside was stopped in the eastbound HOV lane on the Trans-Canada Highway near United Boulevard in Coquitlam on Saturday morning when it was struck by a BMW travelling illegally in the HOV lane. The BMW was then hit by a third vehicle.
The children's grandmother and a great-aunt, aged 74 and 76, were also in hospital with life-threatening injuries last night.
"The family continues to ask for privacy at this very difficult time and asks for the public to continue to pray for their eight-year-old son," said RCMP Cpl. Peter Thiessen.
The parents and a fourth son, aged one year, were at Children's Hospital when the two brothers died yesterday afternoon.
This story was very upsetting and disturbing to me. The man who was driving by himself should have not been in the HOV lane. He should have been aware of what was ahead of him and shouldnt have been going as fast as he was. This man was not following the rules and know he is gonig to live with this the rest of his life. Also, the mom who was driving the van must feel so hurt and upset with herself. It was not her fault that this happend, but im sure it's how she feels.
