Emergency crews were called to Elmvale Avenue and Conestoga Drive shortly after 2 a.m. following the announcement of a collision accident.

The police said a car collided with a tree before catching fire, and when the fire was extinguished, three passengers in the car were located before being pronounced dead at the scene.

The three siblings were identified by their uncle, Alman Blackman, who said they were Teresa, 19, Judah, 17, and Pharaoh, 16. He said, "It’s disturbing that they didn’t get a chance to make the mistakes we all have...," adding that the victims' mother and other siblings are suffering from the loss.

On the other hand, the front of the car suffered severe damage after the collision, and a large amount of debris can be seen scattered around the crash site.

People who identified themselves as relatives and friends of the victims placed flowers and a teddy bear at the scene in the hours following the accident, expressing their sorrow and regret for the loss of their loved ones.
