BATHURST, New Brunswick — A van carrying a Canadian high school boys' basketball team collided with a truck Saturday, killing seven students and the coach's wife on their way home from a game.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sgt. Derek Strong said the seven players — between the ages of 15 and 18 — were pronounced dead at the crash site after their van crossed the center line and hit the tractor-trailer shortly after midnight.

You Hate Hearing Stuff Like This
What I would say here would be so meaningless in the face of such a loss.

As a high school teacher, it is the type of story you hate to hear. We had a kid killed nearly on our schools doorstep right before the holidays. He was going back to help his girlfriend and made a dangerous U-turn. A drunk driver hit him and he died at the scene. In my career, I have had to go through the scene four times. It never gets easier.
It's good that it never gets easier. Imagine what it would mean for you if it did.
