Congrats, Alberta!

Good work AB!! Your lack of mandatory driver training, absence of mandatory driver-retraining, lax traffic laws and the complete blind-eye to impaired driving has killed 8 kids in the last two weeks.

Charges have been laid in a collision that left four Grande Prairie teens dead and one in hospital with serious injuries.

Brendan Holubowich, 21, has been charged with the following:

Four counts of impaired driving causing death
Four counts of operating a motor vehicle over .08 causing death
One count of impaired driving causing bodily harm
One count of operating a motor vehicle over .08 causing bodily harm
One count of failing to remain at the scene of a crash

The charges stem from a collision happened on Highway 668 near Highway 40 when the teens' vehicle was hit by a pick up truck.

The RCMP have confirmed that the four victims are Matt Deller, Vince Stover, Tanner Hildebrand, and Walter Borden-Wilkins.

Zak Judd was airlifted to an Edmonton hospital from the scene by Stars Air Ambulance.

He has been placed in a medically-induced comma after he sustained head injuries in the crash.

Principal Rick Gilson said it was not a time for blame.

"The best way for us to move forward is to work on forgiving and work at having compassion and that will help us more."

Holubowich has been released on cash bail with numerous conditions. His first appearance will be Monday, Oct. 31 in the Grande Prairie Provincial Court House.

ummm...you hate Alberta because of one dumbass driving like this... sounds like you may have to many times


RIP to the children and I hope the idiot goes away for the maximum sentence

[Modelexis]

You're blaming an entire province because one kid decided to get tanked and drive a car?
The only time a blind eye is turned to impaired driving is when a police officer is caught.

I think he's making note that we have a lot of greasy white trash MMA fans who think drunk driving is manly.

I'm actually surprised this doesn't happen more often. Anytime I drive after midnight on a Friday/Saturday there are quite a few swervy drivers around.

This thread is so full fail. Way to marginalize the deaths of some innocent kids because of a drunk driver.

You make me sick.

The people at fault in the accident are the ones that died. All of them could have told buddy to not drive but instead they all got in his vehicle and the rest was history.

I don't know what your talking about. But a car full of 5 15 and 16 years was hit by a drunk guy driving a truck. And then fled the scene. 4 died on site and 1 is in serious condition.

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story; this is the Society/Law/Current Events/Politics section of Beyond after all.

Rural Alberta is going to be tough to control for D.D now especially
with the rig workers going back and hunters roaming the roads.

Thats a little much dude...

While I disagree strongly with his opinion sometimes I certainly wouldn't wish him harm because of them...

Grande Prairie

Enough said.

This may rally the call for 0 tolerance from Redford.

[Crymson]

I find it skeptical that 4 kids can die.

1) were they wearing their seatbelts?

2) I'd like to see the tox report on the driver of the teenagers vehicle as well. 5 Teenagers, GP, rural party.... they sound totally guilt free as well....

Who knows the whole story, but i doubt the 21 year old was a blackout drunk alcoholic and the the 5 teenagers were returning from their youth group abstenance celebration either.

Feel bad for everyone involved.
