00:00:00.140 --> 00:00:03.759
Vancouver rundown for Monday, October 6, 2025.

00:00:04.780 --> 00:00:08.000
It's a public health emergency. That's what Delta

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:10.759
Councilor Dylan Kruger calls a 12 -hour shutdown

00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:15.419
of his community's only ER. A doctor's staffing

00:00:15.419 --> 00:00:17.859
shortage is being touted as the cause of the

00:00:17.859 --> 00:00:20.500
fourth emergency room closure at Delta Hospital

00:00:20.500 --> 00:00:23.440
this year. It happened Saturday night, forcing

00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:26.850
emergency patients to be redirected to Surrey

00:00:26.850 --> 00:00:29.609
or hospitals on the other side of the Fraser

00:00:29.609 --> 00:00:32.869
River. Kruger says Health Minister Josie Osborne

00:00:32.869 --> 00:00:35.950
did not take up his request to meet about the

00:00:35.950 --> 00:00:39.729
situation at last week's Union of BC Municipalities

00:00:39.729 --> 00:00:44.009
conference. Other news, one driver is in hospital

00:00:44.009 --> 00:00:46.890
in critical condition, while another has been

00:00:46.890 --> 00:00:49.810
arrested after a road rage incident in North

00:00:49.810 --> 00:00:53.539
Vancouver on Saturday. RCMP say the driver of

00:00:53.539 --> 00:00:56.200
a Jeep left their vehicle and was struck by the

00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.460
driver of a car near Boulevard Crescent and East

00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:02.439
21st Street. Witnesses say it happened after

00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:05.680
an argument about merging lanes. Charges will

00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:09.920
likely be upgraded if the victim dies. A pedestrian

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:12.640
is fighting to survive after being hit by an

00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.780
out -of -service transit bus in Surrey. It happened

00:01:15.780 --> 00:01:18.459
at the intersection of Highway 10 and King George

00:01:18.459 --> 00:01:21.219
Boulevard Saturday morning. There's no word on

00:01:21.219 --> 00:01:23.780
the cause, but the bus driver remained at the

00:01:23.780 --> 00:01:26.640
scene and continues to cooperate with police.

00:01:27.219 --> 00:01:30.500
The music will resume at Vancouver's Orpheum

00:01:30.500 --> 00:01:33.500
Theatre. Striking Vancouver Symphony Orchestra

00:01:33.500 --> 00:01:36.640
members have reached a deal with their employer.

00:01:37.500 --> 00:01:41.599
The previous contract expired July 1st. Fog patches

00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:44.359
in the morning, but otherwise sunny for Monday.

00:01:44.659 --> 00:01:48.299
Sunshine on Tuesday. A mix of sun clouds and

00:01:48.299 --> 00:01:52.140
possible showers for Wednesday. For all the details
