After the death of four teens, many are asking if restrictions such as on night driving or carrying passengers could save young lives
The number of passersby who paused at the police cordon blocking the narrow, winding country road in north Wales where four teenagers died was striking.
They wanted, primarily, to express their sorrow and send messages of comfort to the relatives and friends of Jevon Hirst, 16, Harvey Owen, Wilf Fitchett, both 17, and 18-year-old Hugo Morris.

Some were in tears as the described an agony that never goes away – and many asked if more needed to be done to reduce such tragedies.
