Four Shropshire boys were tragically found drowned in a ditch two days after a crash in Snowdonia, where they were going for a camping trip, an inquest heard.
boys Hugo Oliver Morris, aged 18, Jevon Alexander Hirst, 16, Harvey Graham Owen, 17, and Wilfred John Fitchett, also 17, went missing on November 19 last year after going to North Wales.

Jevon's mother reported her son missing the following day, and the car was found on November 21.
He said the road was wet, but did not believe it would have had much of an impact on Hugo's loss of control of the car. He accepted speed could have been a factor. He added that no other fatal or serious injury collisions had happened at the location going back to 1993, according to the council's records.
"It's too late for Wilf and his friends, but it's not beyond the realms of possibility that it could happen again."
