R-C-M-P in Surrey are looking for the driver of a Tesla who drove by the scene of a fatal collision this weekend.
A pedestrian was hit Saturday in the 82-hundred-block of 128th Street and later died in hospital from his injuries.
Police say moments after the crash took place, a white Tesla drove southbound past the collision scene and may have unknowingly captured important dash camera footage.
They are asking anyone who was there that night or who may have dash camera footage of the collision or suspect vehicle to contact police.
The comments came Monday during a joint news conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Montreal as the prime minister hosted the German leader during a visit that will also include stops in Toronto and Newfoundland.
Const. Nicole Braithwaite of West Vancouver Police told a press conference today that the scene of the incident at the 400 block of Keith Road was “chaotic.” She says two women in their 60s were pronounced dead at the scene, and seven people were taken to hospital, two in critical condition.
Investigators believe the weapons were being used for protection and to intimidate others in the encampment. A 40-year-old from Vancouver, a 23-year-old from Burnaby and two men in their 20s from Surrey are due in court in October to face multiple charges.
The Canadian American Business Council's new campaign, "Travel Like it's 2019," aims to flood federal MPs with public demands for action. It calls on Ottawa to scrap the troublesome ArriveCan app, a mandatory pre-screening tool for visitors to Canada.
Canada purchased 4.5 million new doses and pushed up the delivery date for the 1.5 million doses originally scheduled to arrive in Canada next year. The agreement depends on Health Canada's approval of the bivalent vaccine, which was submitted for review on June 30.
Dozens of people have been left without a home after an apparent explosion sparked a fire between two buildings in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Assistant Fire Chief Pierre Morin with Vancouver Fire Rescue Services says social services staff are trying to house at least 40 people from the single-room occupancy hotels.
