The families of the deceased and injured have been notified, and their names will not be released out of respect for their privacy, police said.
The eastbound vehicle, travelling in the wrong direction on the westbound lanes near Westport Road, was occupied by a 26-year-old female, a foreign national.

not sure how relevant is to disclosure their nationality, especially on the title. When climbers are missing on Atwell or kiteboarder died, nobody said they were Canandians.
