Po­lice have con­firmed the iden­ti­ties of three peo­ple who died in a ve­hic­u­lar ac­ci­dent along the Uri­ah But­ler High­way, ear­ly on Sun­day morn­ing

Re­ports are that at about 5:00 am to­day, a sil­ver Nis­san Ti­i­da dri­ven by Michael Ash­ton was pro­ceed­ing north along the Uri­ah But­ler High­way in the vicin­i­ty Massy Trac­mac, when he lost con­trol of the ve­hi­cle and ran in­to the back of a dump truck, which was pro­ceed­ing in the same di­rec­tion.
