A fatal vehicle rollover Saturday morning near Bloodvein First Nation left two teenage girls dead.
Blossom Scott, 13, and Abwii Kennedy, 14, died in the crash about three kilometres outside of the First Nation, according to Blossom’s mother Ernestine Dunsford.
Scott’s sister, Taylor, said she was also involved in the crash. She and her mother spoke with Global News Monday afternoon after Taylor was checked out of Winnipeg’s Health Sciences Centre, “We just flipped three times then my sister and Abwii flew out first, and then the rest of us.”
The crash happened early Saturday morning and involved nine passengers, according to RCMP. Some of them were in the box of the truck.
“You don’t know when they’re going to be taken from us, you know. It just happened so fast,” said Dunsford.
“She didn’t come home. They didn’t come home.”
“She was a good girl, she was shy,” Dunsford said of her 13-year-old daughter. “She liked hanging around with her cousins and her sister.”
A criminal collision investigative team and a traffic analyst are investigating the crash.
Bloodvein First Nation is approximately 250 kilometres north of Winnipeg.
