The four school friends in Wales

[PersonaNonGarter]

My heart is breaking for the parents of those four boys. Their sons look so lovely. What a waste.

Boys in cars are still every parent’s nightmare aren’t they?

It's so desperately sad. My heart goes out to the families. 🙁

Heartbreaking. 4 lovely looking young men .
The worst nightmare
Rest in peace lads xx

My son is the same age, he wondered why I gave him such a huge hug when he came in from college. I felt totally sick when I saw the update. Those poor poor families, just gut-wrenchingly devastating.

Incredibly sad. My thoughts are with their family and friends. (Also with the emergency services who have had to deal with this.) Tragic.

It is awful and what everyone was dreading today as the story emerged.

Horrific, what an utter tragedy😢 So young!

I have boys and my god, it’s made me count my blessings this evening.

Those poor families😞

Their beautiful faces .

My son is the same age, its heartbreaking, those poor families 😔

It’s so sad!

How quickly life can change.

The only silver lining is that wherever they are now, they are together 💐

This is so sad. I was really hoping they'd all be found alive and well.

Terribly sad. Reminds me of the four boys who died in the car crash in Sweden viola beach.

Truly a tragedy.

That's what I thought too. Awful as it is at least they all went together.

Absolutely tragic. I can't imagine what their parents are going through. I have boys too. It's not even boys with cars, but their mates with cars and a taste of independence . One of them didn't tell his patents where they were going, probably because they wouldn't have let him go. How on earth do you protect them from that confidence of youth? Poor boys. Their whole lives ahead of them.

It is absolutely heartbreaking. My DS is the same age, just learnt to drive, it’s scary being a Mum. May those 4 boys RIP.

Such a tragedy

Absolutely tragic, devastating

As PP said the confidence of youth how do we protect them? And how many precarious situations did we all get into as children/young adults and we were just lucky?

Prayers and thoughts with the families and as PP said emergency services. Harrowing and heartbreaking time.

This news has really got to me for some reason. The poor families. The poor boys in their final moments. Just horrific. So sad

”At least they all went together” WTAF???? There’s no “at least” here.

I shed a tear watching the news. Their young faces, with their whole lives ahead of them.

The horror for their families. I have no words.

One of the 6th form that left DDs school in the summer was killed in a car crash recently. The last time I saw her she was singing in their chamber choir. So tragic the loss of these young lives before they have really begun.

So sad. Poor boys and their poor families and friends.

And I am not really sure about ‘Rest in Peace’. I think of all the fun they’ve missed out on.

I’d like them to Rest in Good Times forever.

It’s so terribly sad. What a tragedy.

My boys were driving at 17 and I was always terrified of them being in a car full of their mates.

Those poor parents. First the panic when they realised they were missing, then the worst possible news.
