CBC
Investigators continue to probe a fatal collision in east Windsor that killed a motorcyclist.
It happened around 11 p.m. Saturday at the intersection of Lauzon Parkway and Lauzon Line.
According to a police, a pickup truck tried to turn eastbound when it struck a motorcycle that was headed northbound on Lauzon Parkway.
By the time officers arrived on scene, police say two people were found lying on the road with injuries — both were riding on the motorcycle.
The driver, a 39-year-old man, later died in the hospital. The 35-year-old female passenger suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the pickup truck ended up failing a breath test at Windsor police headquarters, according to authorities. The 41-year-old man faces several charges.
Police are hoping anyone who witnessed the collision or has video footage of the incident to contact them.
A city councillor is suggesting the City of Calgary do an external review of how its operations and council decisions are being impacted by false information spread online and through other channels. Coun. Courtney Walcott said he plans to bring forward a motion to council, calling for its support for a review. He said he's not looking for real time fact checking but rather, a review that looks back at the role misinformation played on key issues. Walcott cited two instances in 2024 where factually incorrect information was circulated both online and at in-person meetings regarding major city projects: council's decision to upzone much of the city, and the failed redevelopment proposal for Glenmore Landing. "Looking back on previous years, looking back on major events and finding out how pervasive misinformation and bad information is out there and it's influence on all levels of the public discourse is really important," said Walcott.
