Amanda Fullerton of Lockport, Man., says her mother, Colleen Fullerton, was killed in the Sunday evening crash, and her father, John Fullerton, is in the hospital.

She says her family was left in the dark for hours after the crash, only learning from the RCMP on Monday afternoon that her mother had died, after she had already seen her mother’s name published in Dominican media reports.
