A man who identifies himself as the father of the girl who died said in a Facebook post last Thursday, the day of the crash, that his family and his nephew’s family had experienced a tragic accident on their farm involving a side-by-side vehicle.

The post initially said the man’s daughter had been taken by air ambulance to Edmonton, but an update said the girl “went to Heaven.”

The other children survived the crash with minor injuries.

“As a parent, I cannot fathom the unimaginable and tragic loss these families have suffered,” RCMP Staff Sgt. Kris Clark said in the Mounties’ statement.

“Our hearts go out to everyone who was impacted by this unthinkable event.
