A person driving the wrong way on I-89 interstate highway in Vermont crashed head on with a vehicle that left five teenagers dead.

Police said then the man stole a police car and crashed into seven more cars before the cruiser and another vehicle burst into flames

"These were all good, smart, happy kids with lots of friends," said Garland Martin, pastor of Moretown United Methodist Church.

The suspect, Steven Bourgoin, 36, is the hospital and listed in critical condition.

If and when Bourgoin gets out of the hospital, Police said he will be held on $1 million bail on charges of aggravated driving of a stolen vehicle and gross negligent driving. Authorities said the case is an active homicide investigation and said he could face murder charges.

This is beyond tragic. That POS needs to be the one dead. Not those poor kids.
