Monday night’s accident claimed the lives of Naoman Sidat, 56, and Mohammed Saeed, 33, both of Toronto; Mohammed Pathan, 65, of North York; Azmat Sheikh, 38, of Markham; and Khalid Malik of White Horse, whose age is unknown.
The lone survivor, seriously injured, but in stable condition, is from North York, Gaudet said. His name has not been released.
Where the group of men were traveling is still being investigated, he said.
Hmm...I wonder if a moose crossed their road and they swerved to avoid it.
Just guessing.

Man wanted in 10 cases lands in Thane police net
Express News Service
Mumbai, January 24: A criminal on the most wanted list, Jangi Pathan, was arrested by officers of the Thane Anti-Extortion Cell when he came to meet an associate near J J Hospital on Friday.
A team under Assistant Police Inspector Ravindranath Angre intercepted Abdul Rehman Taj Mohammed Pathan, who was on a motorcycle, at around 8.30 pm. The Hero Honda motorcycle has been impounded.
‘‘Taj Mohammed Pathan alias Jangi Pathan is among the most wanted men in Thane for the past two years. He is named in over 10 cases here,’’ said Angre.
Pathan is believed to be a Pakistani national since a seized passport indicates he was born in Karachi. His background is being screened.
Pathan, 28, rose to the top of the wanted list when he assaulted PSI A Sable of Mumbra police station in 2000. This was followed by an attack on police constable C Shejwalkar the following year.
Soon, Pathan also abducted a Mumbai businessman for ransom. When the police turned on the heat on him, Pathan shifted base to Ahmedabad.
