Teen vows to care for brothers after fatal crash

[Swede]

A 19-year-old who stayed in Winnipeg while his family was in Saskatchewan on the weekend says he plans to care for his four brothers following a crash that killed their parents.

Marcel and Brenda Dubois, both 38, died at the scene after their minivan was struck by a car. The couple and four of their sons were in Yorkton for a taekwondo tournament.

Jordan Dubois says his brother Matthew, 13, has a brain injury, and Jarret, 14, is paralyzed from the waist down. His 16-year-old and nine-year-old brothers were taken to hospital in Yorkton for treatment.

"After we are all back, when I have all the boys with me, I'm sure that it's my parents' wish that we can all make it through this tragedy as one — the five of us together," said Dubois.

2. Sounds like good parents raised a great kid/man

My condolences to the whole family and their friends. Good thing they live in Canada and not the US. They will at least have health care and a social safety net to help them.

3. What a wonderful young man.

I hope he has help. He's going to need it from either family, friends, or social services. It will be a long hard road but, I bet he has the heart and love to see it through.
