Vancouver rundown for Tuesday, November 4, 2025.

00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:07.379
A woman has been rushed to hospital in critical

00:00:07.379 --> 00:00:09.960
condition following a Monday evening pedestrian

00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:13.080
collision in Surrey. Police say it happened at

00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:15.960
around 6 at the intersection of King George Boulevard

00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:19.100

00:00:19.100 --> 00:00:22.039
to talk with police. Some vehicles have been

00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:24.620
slightly damaged, but there are no other injuries.

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.370
Other news. The Vancouver Police Board hopes

00:00:28.370 --> 00:00:30.890

00:00:30.890 --> 00:00:34.590
to just shy of half a billion dollars for 2026.

00:00:34.969 --> 00:00:38.929
The $50 million request comes as other city departments

00:00:38.929 --> 00:00:43.270
face cuts. Staff claim the 4 .9 % budget increase

00:00:43.270 --> 00:00:47.250
is due to higher costs that the Vancouver Police

00:00:47.250 --> 00:00:51.490
Department cannot control. A barefoot hiker has

00:00:51.490 --> 00:00:54.939

the man lost his shoes and gear in a fall in

Lynn Headwaters Regional Park. Crews say they

00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:13.319
were surprised to find the man was in good shape.

00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.319

00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:20.099

00:01:20.099 --> 00:01:23.780
