Vancouver police say they're investigating after a 28-year-old man died in a downtown crash early this morning.
They say a Honda Accord was stopped at a red light around 3 a-m when the driver of a van crashed into its rear, causing the van to catch fire.
Police say the 34-year-old van driver was extracted and taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The driver and one passenger in the Honda were rushed to hospital with serious injuries, while a second passenger died at the scene.
The College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia says a massage therapist in Burnaby who's been accused of sexual misconduct cannot have female clients while he's being investigated. It comes after a patient complained that the therapist inappropriately touched them in April.
Witnesses told police, the suspect was seen approaching the victim wearing a mask and carrying a baseball bat. The suspect then allegedly hit the victim with the bat and kicked him before fleeing on foot with a group of 4-5 youths. Bystanders provided first aid to the 18-year man until such time that emergency first responders arrived on scene.
