00:00:00.140 --> 00:00:04.540
Vancouver rundown for Friday, January 30th, 2026.

00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:08.820
BC Premier David Eby says Albertan separatists

00:00:08.820 --> 00:00:12.279
who went to Washington, D .C. are engaging in

00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:15.220
treason. That statement is being blasted by many

00:00:15.220 --> 00:00:18.019
politicians, including Alberta Premier Daniel

00:00:18.019 --> 00:00:21.120
Smith, who says she won't demonize the nearly

00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.460
one million people in her province who are open

00:00:24.460 --> 00:00:27.859
to separation. Eby is backing up his treason

00:00:27.859 --> 00:00:30.640
remark, saying the group is going to a foreign

00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.539
country to ask for help to break up Canada, which

00:00:34.539 --> 00:00:36.899
is a treasonous activity and needs to be called

00:00:36.899 --> 00:00:39.939
out and stopped. The group Stay Free Alberta

00:00:39.939 --> 00:00:44.479
is trying to get 178 ,000 signatures to force

00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:48.950
a vote on separation. Other news. A flipped truck

00:00:48.950 --> 00:00:51.969
snarled Highway 99 traffic Thursday afternoon

00:00:51.969 --> 00:00:55.270
just north of Horseshoe Bay. There's no word

00:00:55.270 --> 00:00:57.990
on the number or extent of injuries after the

00:00:57.990 --> 00:01:00.509
truck ended up on its side a few hundred meters

00:01:00.509 --> 00:01:03.509
from the ferry terminal. The cause of the crash

00:01:03.509 --> 00:01:07.890
is unclear. A pedestrian and a dog have been

00:01:07.890 --> 00:01:11.269
killed after being hit by a train in Fort Langley.

00:01:11.390 --> 00:01:14.189
It happened at Glover Road and Billy Brown Road.

00:01:14.700 --> 00:01:17.959
At around 7 .45 Thursday morning, the person

00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:21.739
died at the scene. Two convicted killers have

00:01:21.739 --> 00:01:24.579
now been charged with trying to escape from the

00:01:24.579 --> 00:01:27.760
Surrey Pretrial Center. 40 -year -old Dean Witcher

00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:32.439
and 34 -year -old Harry Christensen are now charged

00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:35.340
with attempting to break out of prison and attempting

00:01:35.340 --> 00:01:38.439
to escape lawful custody. The two were spotted

00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:41.299
by a corrections officer during an attempt to

00:01:41.299 --> 00:01:44.790
escape in early December. The forecast calling

00:01:44.790 --> 00:01:48.569
for clouds with gusty wind and heavy rain on

00:01:48.569 --> 00:01:52.209
