Four teenage bodies recovered after ‘tragic accident’ in Snowdonia

“It was at four-thirty this afternoon that the police confirmed the worst outcome for this, that the car that was discovered at ten o’clock this morning did, in fact, contain the bodies of the four young men.”
Times reporter Tom Witherow says the weather conditions at the time of the boys’ disappearance were "atrocious".

    ​@@firstname4865in what way did they possibly endanger anyone's lives? If you just mean by being out driving in not the best weather conditions then that's absolutely ridiculous. Unless you've had an insanely sheltered life then you've definitely been out in just as bad weather if not worse. Unless we get further information saying otherwise then this just seems like a terribly tragic accident that could have happened to pretty much anyone.

    People do not take weather conditions seriously. I feel so sorry for the families. Giving condolences just does not seem enough. Parents burying their children is heartbreaking and they will spend the rest of their lives blaming themselves when it was just bad luck. So many teenagers get away with being careless. This time they did not. ☹

    The road from Beddgelert to Garreg is relatively out of the way with very few dwellings on or near it. The Afon Glaslyn was in high water over the weekend and some of the fields nearby flood in wet weather. I could imagine a car clearing stock fencing and plunging downwards out of view of others passing on a tight corner. Although it is an A road, its a very quiet one with only very light traffic much of the time. So terribly sad.
