Construction crew arrives to inspect damage at Barrie, Ont. crash site
Crews with the construction contractor, Condrain Group, arrived Thursday to document the damage at the site of a deadly single-vehicle car crash in Barrie, Ont. as the search for answers plagues the victim's loved ones.
The construction zone along McKay Road is now fenced and barricaded where it's believed the vehicle carrying six young adults crashed into a large concrete pit in the road.
The question remains to what extent, if at all, the hole and surrounding area between Veterans Drive and County Road 27 were blocked.
Friends said the group of six were heading to the casino in Innisfil but they lost contact with them around 6 a.m. Saturday. Police issued a missing persons report later that evening and discovered the crash scene Sunday at 2 a.m.
Jersey Mitchell, Haley Marin, Curtis King, River Wells, Luke West and Jason Ono-O'Connor have been identified as the victims.
Among the flowers and mementos placed at a memorial near the crash site is a father's message to the daughter he will never see again.
It reads, "Dad loves you so much Jersey. You will always be my heart, my soul, my girl. You are me. Nothing will ever be the same."

As the families strive for an explanation, crews continue to investigate the conditions and circumstances leading up to the crash at the construction site in the city's south end.
Meanwhile, Barrie police remain silent, including Police Chief Kimberley Greenwood, who declined a request for comment.
