🚑 Breaking & Incidents

  1. Isang ambulansya ang nasirahan habang tumutugon sa banggaan sa paligid ng Montreal, ayon sa unyon ng mga paramedic — kulang ang mga mapagkukunan. Iniulat ng unyon na nagkaaberya ang ambulansya habang tumutugon sa isang multi‑vehicle collision noong 22 Okt., kaya kinailangang ilipat ang mga pasyente sa ibang yunit at nagdulot ng pangamba tungkol sa kakayahang tumugon ng ambulansya sa iba't ibang service zone ng Montreal. Nanawagan ang unyon ng agarang pagpapalit ng kagamitan at pagdaragdag ng frontline crews upang mabawasan ang mga agwat sa tugon.

  2. Tinamaan at namatay ang isang pedestrian habang tumatawid sa isang kalye sa West Island. Iniulat ng Montreal police na naganap ang nakamamatay na banggaan noong 21 Okt. sa West Island; idineklarang patay ang biktima sa lugar at isinara ng mga imbestigador ang kalsada nang ilang oras habang kinokolekta ang ebidensya.
