So far, no charges have been laid, and police have said the investigation into the collision could take weeks. The driver remained at the scene and was not injured.

The Stemps go on to say, "Our family is devastated by the loss of Alexandra in such a tragic circumstance."

The family is also thanking the community for their support and say their hearts go out to the others still recovering from the crash, including the Brownie leaders and girls/volunteers.

The Girl Guides of Canada released a statement saying Thursday saying, "Our thoughts are with all of those involved, their families and friends, who will be impacted by this incident for some time.”
