Breton, Alberta – The Breton RCMP remain on scene at a single vehicle collision that occurred earlier this morning. Traffic is being detoured on Highway 39 at Range Road 45 and it is anticipated that it will remain detoured for at least two more hours.

At 10:56 a.m., the RCMP were dispatched along with other emergency services. A truck hauling lumber was involved in a rollover and as a result, caught fire. The truck and the lumber were fully engulfed in flames.

The driver, and lone occupant, of the vehicle was not injured.

Motorists are recommended to avoid this area while crews work to clean up the highway.

Flames sign Kadri to 7-year, $49-million deal, trade Monahan to Canadiens

The Canadian Press

CALGARY — The Calgary Flames have signed forward Nazem Kadri to a seven-year, US$49-million deal.

The 32-year-old Kadri was one of the biggest names available in free agency after an all-star season with Colorado that ended with the Avalanche winning the Stanley Cup.

Kadri had 28 goals and 59 assists in 71 games for the Avalanche in 2021-22.

He added 15 points in 16 playoff games, including the overtime winner in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final against Tampa Bay.

That was his return to action after being injured in Game 3 of the Western Conference final after being hit from behind by Edmonton forward Evander Kane.

The Flames also sent forward Sean Monahan and a conditional 2025 first-round pick to the Montreal Canadiens for future considerations in a move to create salary cap space for Kadri’s contract.

ALDERGROVE — The Greater Vancouver Zoo says one of the wolves that escaped their enclosure this week has been found dead on a roadside, and that second wolf is still missing.

The zoo in Aldergrove, B.C., has been shut for three days while workers and conservation officers searched for the wolves, which Langley RCMP suspect got loose when someone deliberately damaged the animals’ enclosure.

The zoo’s deputy general manager Menita Prasad says both the wolf enclosure and the zoo’s perimeter fence had been deliberately cut.

More coming.
