Is it really necessary to post pics of the car? What if it was a fellow castaneters family member and they didn't know yet?

Condolences to the family and hopefully they don't learn about it on here first!

No front plate, must be from Alberta.

Considering the front bumper is laying face down under the truck...how do you know there's no front plate?

[looking4one]

I don't see one so it doesn't exist. (Sorry, my bad).
This is a very serious matter and I just see something wrong with amature picture takers and potentially causing concern or grief for every family that knows someone that drives a car just like that one, or was supposed to be on that highway at that time.

I actually feel the same way. It would be different if they had more information to provide, but just posting the pic with no info, I have very mixed feelings about it too. And in fact, I DID worry because my son drives a small silver car, but didn't think he would be on the Coq today. All the news outlets seem to do it, but because Castanet is the one closest to home and the Coq, we see these things immediately.

On the other hand, some people might want to know what is going on up there. It's not an easy call.

Perhaps talk to Castanet about it.

No front plate, must be from Alberta.

In Canada, 9 of the 13 provinces and territories do not require an official front plate, including the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Québec, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador.

can anyone tell me what kind of vehicle that is by the picture?
every manufacturer offers silver

as for the plate, it's irrelevant
I've been driving with no front plate for a decade in BC and not once have I ever been told to put it on

My condolences to the family and friends left behind

That was yesterday...this was today...
"Weather and road conditions were good at the time of the collision,” says Pears.
