Around 2:20am while in the Downtown area. I noticed two Police Cruisers quickly left the area.
I mean they were moving!!!! Sirens and lights on!!!
I heard on KHJ Radio News three youths died after their car went into the Saint John River.
Does anyone out there have more info???? *
Local News Here are today’s top local stories from KHJ News:
Posted 9am August 15, 2009
Three people are dead after a car went into the St. John River early this morning. Fredericton police say the car was driving north on St. Anne's Point Drive around 2:40 a.m. when it went off the road. Four people were in the car - three males and a female. All three men died. The woman was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Police say they don't know yet if speed or alcohol was a factor and are continuing to investigate.
UPDATE!!!!
I guess the youths were from STU!!!
I made a little youtube of the scene...Will post pictures and video later.....
My God? They must have been flying!!!!
STAY TUNED TO THIS BLOG FOR MORE INFO!!!!!
The car came down Regent Street. It's a big easy left hand turn by the Lighhouse.
They droved over the Walking Trail. Thank God???? There were nobody walking in the area.
They continued right till the Saint John River. No signs of Brakes....
They must have hit these rocks very hard...
Stay tune for the news conference of the Police and a video of the scene.
My deepest sympathy to the Families.
I saw the two cruisers racing from the Downtown area but never taught more about it. I need a Police Scanner to catch the news. Just like Ray Richard from Moncton.
He's all over the place....
Update -
The Whole Province is in a News Blackout and the media had a difficult time locating someone who would speak from the Fredericton Police Force.
Fredericton Police Officer held a News Conference.

UPDATE -
I went back to the area trying to figure out what exactly happened < I should have stayed away > People are driving by looking at the area.
People are also walking by glancing at the tragic event.
I was enjoying an Ice Cream under the hot sun. Someone showed up and began telling me the details of what just happened.
I guess the driver pass a flagman at 70 milles per hour. Construction is very much alive at night.
He kept on going full speed. I guess they just came from the Tannery.
I guess one of the guys text someone to tell his friend that he hitch a ride with a guy.
Anyway, the car didn't make the turn. I guess the car flew in the air and hit the ground. The woman was thrown from the car.
The vehicle went back in the air and land 15 feet from shore without hitting the rocks.
I guess they died before hitting the water of the Saint John River.
The woman ran toward to the River watching the car sink in the water. She was helpless. She couldn't do anything. My God, she'll live every moment of this tragedy for the rest of her life.
So sad....
Then suddenly, three people showed up at the scene with tears in their eyes asking - What happened here???
It was the Father of one of the boy who got killed.
There I was enjoying an Ice Cream while this was going on.
What can you do or say???
The Father believe this was just an nightmare and everything will be ok.
He told me that his son was a good quiet boy and he worked at Gilbert's washing cars.
If he would have driven the car? All three males would be alive today because he was a good driver..
Very sad!!!
I told the family that I was sorry for their lost..... < What else could I say? >
One guy, the brother < I believe > of one of the boys killed said - The driver is better off dead!!!
The family just look at the scene in disbelief.
I know I should have not taken a picture but I just wish to show the readers the facts.
Yes, lots of emotions.
The two males just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. They just hitch a ride with a very bad driver. So sad.....
I really feel for the Parents who are going to be asking themselves many questions during the next few days.
Kiss your love ones tonight because you'll never know? It could be for the very last time.
:(
As for the area where the tragedy happened?
Life goes on....
Here's an little update...The guy didn't want to have his face shown...

Global Television used my video on their news cast -
While in Bathurst, I heard many people who were disgusted of the way these MLA'S votes themselves a huge six million dollar raise in a very crooked secret way!!! I believe this could be an issue during next year Provincial Election!!!
