HANNA, Alta. – The parents of three children who died in a crash in central Alberta took part in a candlelight vigil at the scene of the crash.

The trip was organized by members of Calgary’s Ethiopian community, who are trying to help Solomon Adugna and Meseret Shiferaw of Spokane, Wash.

The couple’s children 16-year-old Bien, 11-year-old Christian, and 11-month-old Emenet were killed last week when the SUV they were in and a transport truck collided about 210 kilometres northeast of Calgary near Hanna.

Calgarians are doing all they can to support the family and help them with the costs to take their children home to be buried.
