Prince George RCMP is currently on the scene of a pedestrian hit-and-run that occurred near the intersection of North Ospika Boulevard and McRae Avenue today, July 7, 2025, at approximately 9:00 a.m.

The victims were two cyclists who were on the side of the road, both of whom have been transported to hospital with serious injuries. Police officers have since located the suspect vehicle, identified as a newer model, black Dodge Ram 1500, and have one man in custody in relation to this investigation.

Investigators currently have a large section of Ospika Boulevard blocked off in both directions from where the incident occurred. Motorists are encouraged to seek alternate routes as the investigation will take much of the rest of the day as support units are engaged to assist.

“Police officers are looking for anyone with video surveillance, dash camera footage or cell phone video that shows the vehicle’s driving behaviour before and after the collision. The vehicle traveled from where the incident occurred and turned left on McDermid Drive, then left again on Tabor Boulevard.

Witnesses report seeing the vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed. If anyone has information that can inform this investigation further, please contact the Prince George RCMP non-emergency line at 250-561-3300,” states Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

Seniors advocate says B.C. will need almost 16,000 new long-term care beds by 2036

A report from British Columbia's seniors' advocate say the province will need almost 16,000 new long-term care beds by 2036 to meet the demands of an aging society. Dan Levitt's report tabled at the provincial legislature pegs the current shortfall at over 2,000 beds, and predicts the gap will "grow exponentially" over the next decade. It says the number of people waiting for beds has grown significantly in the past 10 years to 7, 212 in 2025, and people are also waiting longer. The average wait time for a long-term care bed had almost doubled to 290 days by 2024, according to the report, whic
