A few more details surrounding a highway collision that left three dead, and one seriously injured Monday morning have been released.

RCMP said Tuesday that the four people involved in a fatal collision on the Queen Elizabeth II Highway Monday morning are Chinese citizens.

Police said the 21-year-old woman who was rushed to hospital in grave condition remains in hospital in serious, but stable, condition.

The three deceased have only been identified as a 20-year-old male, a 24-year-old male and a 20-year-old female.

The names of the injured and the deceased have not been released.

On Tuesday afternoon, University of Alberta President and Vice-Chancellor Indira Samarasekera released a statement on the U of A website, and said two students and a former student were killed in the collision.

“Words seem inadequate to express the sadness enveloping or campus today…On behalf of our university community, I wish to send my heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of the students who died. Our prayers are with the survivor.”

The U of A interim Provost and Vice President Olive Yonge spoke to reporters Tuesday.

“It is a loss for a parent, a friend, a sibling, an aunt and uncle, a community,” Yonge said. “It just is, it is death, it’s just young people and they had a whole life ahead of them.”

Samarasekera’s statement went on to urge anyone affected by the tragedy to use supports available at the U of A – including encouraging students in residence to contact an RA or other residence staff.

Other supports on campus include: Counselling and Clinical Services, Community Social Work Team, Chaplains Association, and the Peer Support Centre.

RCMP are still investigating and told CTV News it’s still not clear what caused the crash.

“Nothing has been ruled out yet as to what might have been the cause or if there was a single cause for this accident,” RCMP Insp. Gibson Glavin said.

“The amount of damage to the vehicle is one of the reasons there is a delay.”

The Chinese Consulate is helping the families – who are on their way to Edmonton – and a vigil with staff and students at the university will be held Wednesday at 6 p.m. on the Quad.
