All 10 teenage girls on a high school volleyball team from Prince George, B.C., have returned home after the passenger van they were travelling in crashed on a highway near Cache Creek on Tuesday. School superintendent Marylin Marquis-Forster said all the players were home by 3:30 Wednesday afternoon. The van carrying 16- and 17-year-old girls from College Heights Secondary School volleyball team was en route to Powell River to compete in the provincial AAA high school championships when the driver swerved to avoid something on the road and drove into the ditch. The school district will likely re-examine its safety procedures once the investigation has wrapped up, she added, including policies for school trips. The school district has deployed its critical response team to give updates to those who want it, Marquis-Forster said.
