It happened around 10:20 p.m. on Highway 17A on June 2. Mounties say two women had pulled over to look for something in their trunk when they were hit from behind by a white Jeep travelling northbound.

The impact killed one of the women, a 19-year-old, and sent the other, a 20-year-old, to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The victim has since been identified as Olivia Malcom, a lacrosse player from the community.

The night of the fatal crash, police say the driver of the Jeep remained at the scene, and police are investigating alcohol as a contributing factor in the crash.
