A candlelight vigil is set to take place today to honour the six young people killed in last weekend’s Barrie, Ont., car crash.
The six victims, all in their early 20s, were found dead at the site of a single-vehicle crash early Sunday morning, hours after police reported them missing.
The crash had not been reported to police when officers came across the scene at a large concrete pit in a rural construction site on the southwest edge of the city.
