R-C-M-P in Ladysmith say a 19-year-old man is dead after a single-vehicle crash.
It happened last night shortly after 10 p-m in the southbound lanes of the Trans-Canada Highway, which was closed for several hours.
Police say the man was driving a Nissan 350-Z, and while first responders tried to save him, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
Mark Robinson travelled to Florida on Tuesday to follow Milton's development along the west coast, and says its rapid development made forecasting the exact location and landfall time challenging to predict, meaning residents in the state had little time to prepare.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he's in favour of mandatory, involuntary drug and psychiatric treatment for kids and prisoners who are found to be incapable of making decisions for themselves. He said earlier this summer he was open to the idea, but needed to study the issue more closely.
Richmond R-C-M-P say they're investigating after four Sea-Doos were stolen in a two-week period. They say the watercraft were taken from marinas located in the Moray Bridge area.
Conservatives Leader John Rustad says he has accepted the apology of Surrey South candidate Brent Chapman and won't ask him to step down, but Eby says a candidate engaged in such speech should be fired. Chapman's comments in a series of social media posts about 10 years ago are resurfacing days ahead of the Oct. 19 provincial election.
Rustad told Tuesday's party leaders' debate that he saw someone die "from an overdose" on the corner of Robson and Hornby streets in Vancouver, later telling a news conference he watched first responders "pumping his chest" as an ambulance arrived.
But in his first scheduled appearance after the sole televised debate of the closely fought election, Eby repeatedly turned back to his opponent, saying B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad was "vague" about his plans, and pointed out again that the B.C. Conservatives had not released their costed platform.
