Inquest into death of four teens killed in Snowdonia car crash opens today

The inquest into the death of four teenagers who died in a car crash in north Wales is set to open later today.

Jevon Hirst, 16, Harvey Owen, 17, Wilf Fitchett, 17, and Hugo Morris, 18, were reported missing on November 19 after they didn’t return home from an overnight camping trip in the Snowdonia area.

They were found dead in a silver Ford Fiesta which had overturned and was partially submerged in water on November 21 after a frantic search effort.

Tributes have been paid to the Shrewsbury College students, including from Wilf’s girlfriend Maddi Corfield who said: ‘I love you so much, I’m going to miss you forever.

‘The sweetest and most loving boy I’ve ever known. I hope you know how much I love you, gorgeous.’

Crystal Owen, mum to Harvey, said she was ‘living in a nightmare’ after finding out her son had been killed in the crash.

The inquests into their deaths will be formally opened in Caernarfon by Kate Robertson, senior coroner for North West Wales.

A date for the full inquest to begin is expected to be set today.
