“I need answers,” Natalie Howes said at the scene of the fatal crash. “It just doesn’t make sense why they were down here in the first place.”
House’s son River Wells, 20, was among the dead after the car they were traveling in is believed to have plunged into a concrete pit along McKay Street in the city’s south end.
On Wednesday, Barry police investigators broke into the large, deep hole in the center of the two-lane road between County Road 27 and Veterans Drive, looking for clues.

He got it three days before this happened.” “He was an amazing guy,” Hawes added. “He never let anyone down.” Friends who saw the group on Friday night and early Saturday morning said they planned to visit the nearby Innisfil Casino before losing contact with them. Jersey Mitchell, 20, Haley Marin, 21, and Jason Ono-O’Connor, 23, were also inside the vehicle at the time of the crash. A memorial is being raised at the site of the crash that killed six young people in Barrie, Ont.

CTV News reached out to the contractor, Condrain Group, who declined to comment due to the ongoing investigation. How and why the crash happened remains a mystery as police continue to search for answers. “It’s just so hard. I don’t know what to do or say anymore. I’m still in shock.” House said. “I just want to hold him one more time and I can’t do that.” A GoFundMe campaign started by Ripple of Kindness Barrie has raised nearly $70,000 since it was created Monday to support the families of the six victims.
