Four bodies have been discovered in a car that was overturned and partially submerged in water. The car was found during the search for a group of missing teenagers who had been unaccounted for over a two-day period. The North Wales Police confirmed that the bodies were found in the car, which had veered off the road on the A4085 in Garreg, near Tremadog, Gwynedd. The missing teenagers, Wilf Henderson, Jevon Hirst, Harvey Owen, and Hugo Morris, all from Shrewsbury, had been reported missing since Sunday morning. Superintendent Owain Llewelyn expressed his belief that this was a tragic accident. He added that the search effort, which involved various agencies and volunteers, did not yield the desired outcome. The police extended their condolences to the family and friends of the four young individuals. Reports indicate that the group had gone camping in Eryri National Park, also known as Snowdonia, and were last seen driving a silver Ford Fiesta. The vehicle was ultimately located based on information provided by a member of the public. Crystal Owen, Harvey's mother, revealed that she was en route to north Wales to be closer to the search operation. She expressed her unawareness of her son's camping plans, as she believed he was going to stay at a friend's grandfather's house. All four teenagers were students at Shrewsbury College and were studying A-levels. This is an ongoing news story, and more details are expected to emerge.
