The five men killed in a minivan crash on the Dempster Highway Monday evening have been identified by Dawson City RCMP.

Khalid Malik was the lone Yukoner, from Whitehorse, in the vehicle, which was carrying the men south and was about 400 metres inside the territory from the Northwest Territories border.

The RCMP are still determining his date of birth, Sgt. Dan Gaudet of the Dawson detachment told the Star today.

The remaining four killed were all from the Greater Toronto Area. They were Naomin Sidat, 56, of Toronto; Mohammed Khan Pathan, 65, of North York; Mohammed Saeed, 33, of Toronto; and Azmat Jamil Sheikh, 38, of Markham.

A sixth victim of the accident, a 57-year-old man from North York, remains in stable condition in the Inuvik hospital.

RCMP from both the Dawson and Fort McPherson, N.W.T. detachments were called to the crash at around 8:30 p.m. Monday.

Police discovered the vehicle had gone off an embankment. It appears that before it rolled, it had been skidding out of control.

Police found four of the men dead, and the fifth later died at the scene.

Yukon coroner Sharon Hanley said this morning there will be no autopsies done on the bodies. A single-vehicle crash, it was apparent the deaths were caused by trauma from the accident, she explained.

Alcohol is not believed to be factor in the crash, said Hanley.

'There's no indication alcohol was involved. It's not suspected,' she said.

The bodies of the four Ontario men were sent to Toronto today.

In an interview Tuesday, Hanley described the accident as the worst she's seen in more than a decade.

She recalled a crash in snowy conditions on the Alaska Highway near Robert Service Way which killed six people in the mid-1990s. All of the victims, who had been in the same car, were from Carcross.
