Two funerals were held Sunday for five of the six people killed in last week's horrific traffic accident in British Columbia's Fraser Valley.

The accident occurred Aug. 24 near Abbotsford when a pickup truck driven by a 71-year-old man plowed into a group of 25 to 30 people who were taking part in a traditional Indian wedding procession on a country road late in the evening.

Six people were killed, many of whom were relatives of the bride, and 17 others were injured.

About 1,000 people gathered Sunday at a crematorium in Delta to pay their respects to four of the dead, including the youngest victim, a 13-year-old boy.
