Investigators currently have a large section of Ospika Boulevard blocked off in both directions from where the incident occurred.

Prince George RCMP is currently on the scene of a pedestrian hit-and-run that occurred near the intersection of North Ospika Boulevard and McRae Avenue today, July 7, 2025, at approximately 9:00 a.m.

The victims were two cyclists who were on the side of the road, both of whom have been transported to hospital with serious injuries. Police officers have since located the suspect vehicle, identified as a newer model, black Dodge Ram 1500, and have one man in custody in relation to this investigation.

Investigators currently have a large section of Ospika Boulevard blocked off in both directions from where the incident occurred. Motorists are encouraged to seek alternate routes as the investigation will take much of the rest of the day as support units are engaged to assist.

“Police officers are looking for anyone with video surveillance, dash camera footage or cell phone video that shows the vehicle’s driving behaviour before and after the collision. The vehicle traveled from where the incident occurred and turned left on McDermid Drive, then left again on Tabor Boulevard.

Witnesses report seeing the vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed. If anyone has information that can inform this investigation further, please contact the Prince George RCMP non-emergency line at 250-561-3300,” states Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

Fire sparked by RCMP trailer near Lytton, B.C., is being held and will be downgraded

A wildfire near Lytton, B.C., that ignited when a wheel fell off an RCMP trailer and prompted evacuations is now classified as "being held" and is no longer likely to spread. The BC Wildfire Service says the change is due to "significant efforts" of firefighters with the help of favourable weather, which means the Izman Creek blaze will no longer be considered a wildfire of note. Once the fire loses that classification — which designates a fire is generating particular interest, is highly visible or a threat to public safety — there will be no wildfires of note in B.C.

Alberta RCMP lay charges after cough syrup laced with fentanyl kills man

Mounties in Alberta have charged a 23-year-old man with first-degree murder after he allegedly gave another man cough syrup laced with a fatal dose of fentanyl. Cpl. Gina Slaney says an 18-year-old resident of Chestermere, a city east of Calgary, died in hospital on April 3, 2020, about three days after consuming the substance. Court documents say the accused is also facing an attempted murder charge after he allegedly gave the laced cough syrup to a 25-year-old Calgary resident who didn't end up drinking it. Investigators allege the medicine was intended for both victims. Inve

Ottawa set to miss 2026 deadline for establishing $10-a-day child care: report

Ottawa is expected to miss its 2026 deadline to implement $10-a-day child care services across the country, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives said in a new report published on Wednesday. The analysis concluded that just six provinces and territories are meeting that fee target now. David Macdonald, an economist with the centre, said even though fees have dropped significantly everywhere, the federal government is unlikely to meet its self-imposed deadline. “It's almost certain that even after the 2026 deadline passes, many parents in five provinces will be paying more than $10 a da
