dailyrecord.co.ukThe bodies of four teenage boys were recovered from a Ford Fiesta after a passing binman spotted the car down a ditch in Wales, it has been reported.Jevon Hirst, 16, Harvey Owen, 17, Wilf Fitchett, 17, and Hugo Morris, 18, had been going camping in Snowdonia but were reported missing after failing to return home.Their bodies were discovered inside a Ford Fiesta two days later after a binman spotted the car around 10am on Tuesday morning, the Mirror reports.Farmer Rhys Williams, who lives at Garreg Hyll Drem Farm - just 25 metres away from the scene -said the sound of a search and rescue helicopter had woken him just hours before the tragic discovery.He told the Mirror: "Early yesterday we heard the helicopter directly above us.
It had the searchlight on. It was still dark. It was hovering and loud. I didn't think much of it. It moved on and came back later.
They wouldn't have seen anything, no chance."The four boys, who were all studying A-Levels at the same college, had gone to the picturesque area of Snowdonia to camp but tragically died after their silver Ford Fiesta plunged off a windy country road and overturned in a flooded ditch.Their worried families in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, reported them missing when they failed to return home on Monday.The youngsters lost contact with their families on Sunday and it is not yet known when the fatal accident occurred.
Mr Williams said the weather conditions were "brutal" on Sunday and added the boys were "so unlucky" to have left the road on a sharp bend, flipping their vehicle into a ditch that was flooded by two days of rain.Wife Carys later saw on Facebook that North Wales Police had issued an appeal for the missing teens.
