Vancouver rundown for Thursday, August 28, 2025.
A carny has been killed after being hit by a
ride in Prince Rupert. The worker was struck
by a rotating cart on the zipper during the first
night of the Prince Rupert Summer Carnival. The
company that operates the rides, Mission Based
Shooting Star Amusements, says its worker was
a dear close friend and a great man. WorkSafeBC,
Technical SafetyBC, and the Coroner's Service
are all investigating. Other news, breaking news,
a Wednesday evening stabbing in Mission has left
a victim with life -threatening injuries. It
happened at around 9 .15 near the A &W on Lougheed
Highway. Paramedics on scene stood down an air
ambulance, but there is no confirmation on the
victim's condition. One person is dead after
being struck by a train near River Road and Lougheed
Highway in Maple Ridge. It happened late Wednesday
morning, shutting down the Lougheed for a short
time. It comes just one day after another train
hit a semi on the same stretch of tracks, badly
injuring the driver. Homicide investigators and
a forensic team have surrounded a home in a cul
-de -sac near the Haney Bypass in Maple Ridge.
Police will only say it's part of an ongoing
missing person investigation. Ridge Meadows RCMP
won't say if anyone's been found dead. Suggesting
any other details will have to come from IHIT.
The forecast, a mix of sun and clouds with possible
showers on Thursday morning. Sunny for Friday,
a few clouds on Saturday. For all the details
