The small community of Chipman, N.B. is in mourning after two teens were killed in a single-vehicle crash on Thursday.

Almost all of Chipman’s 1,200 residents knew at least one of the teens killed in the collision off Roy Mills Road.

Investigators say a pickup truck left the road, tumbled down an embankment, and landed on its roof in a small lake.

Two teens managed to escape the vehicle, climb up the embankment, and went for help, but a 14-year-old girl was pronounced dead at the scene.

Three boys under the age of 18 were rushed to hospital, but a 13-year-old was later pronounced dead.

Police have identified the victims as Saydi Cormier-Radke of Cumberland Bay and Taylor McNamara of Chipman.

The other teens have since been treated and released from hospital.

Cormier-Radke’s friend, Matthew Miller, says he will remember her for her good nature and flamboyant hair.

“She was my best friend and she would do anything for anybody,” says Miller. “She was very outgoing. Her hair defined who she was and what she wore.”

“She was really funny and had a great personality and was very independent,” says friend Jessica Hawkes.”

A steady stream of mourners and curious onlookers visited the crash site in Chipman on Friday.

Schools in the Anglophone West School District were closed for a personal development day, but Forest Avenue School was open to students seeking grief counselling.

Cormier-Radke and McNamara were Grade 9 students at the school and grief counsellors were on site to help students cope with the loss.

They say more than two dozen students sought their help on Friday.

Fire officials say several first responders who attended the scene knew the victims and are also taking advantage of counselling services.

“First responders from the ambulance, they worked so hard trying to revive one of the young individuals and actually worked on him all the way to Fredericton and they worked on him in the Chalmers…it was just unfortunate,” says Chipman Deputy Fire Chief Barry Armstrong. “The other person, it was obvious there was nothing we could do.”

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
