🚑 Últimas noticias e incidentes

  1. Cinco furgonetas de mensajería destruidas en incendio nocturno en Cityline Common; investiga la unidad de incendios provocados. La policía de Calgary dice que los oficiales acudieron alrededor de las 2:00 a.m. tras llamadas que reportaban varios vehículos en llamas en el bloque 0–100 de Cityline Common N.E., donde se encontraron cinco vehículos con daños extensos y vecinos escucharon explosiones; la policía pide a quien tenga video entre la 1:00 a.m. y las 2:00 a.m. que lo entregue a los investigadores o a Crime Stoppers.

  2. Una persona encontrada muerta tras incendio en sótano de Tuxedo Park; la muerte se investiga como sospechosa. Bomberos de Calgary extinguieron un incendio en un sótano en el bloque 200 de la avenida 27 N.E. después de responder alrededor de las 12:30 p.m. del jueves; los bomberos hallaron a una persona sin signos vitales y la policía de Calgary abrió una investigación por muerte sospechosa mientras el forense realizará la autopsia.

  3. Tres acusados tras presunto robo, secuestro y forzamiento a entrar en un maletero cerca de Balzac. La policía de Calgary dice que el incidente del 18 de agosto, pasada la medianoche en Livingston, comenzó cuando un hombre de 31 años fue abordado por un sospechoso armado con un cuchillo, presuntamente forzado a entrar en el maletero de su vehículo y liberado cerca de Wagon Wheel Crescent; la policía rastreó el vehículo robado hasta Rundle y, con HAWCS y la RCMP, arrestó a tres adultos en Innisfail — había dos niños en el vehículo.

🌦️ Clima y carreteras / Tráfico

  1. La ciudad usó IA para puntuar más de 17.000 intersecciones y marcó las 50 zonas peatonales de mayor riesgo. Un informe para el Comité de Desarrollo Comunitario muestra que la IA de Calgary asignó puntuaciones de riesgo entre 93.55 y 99.02 a 50 intersecciones peligrosas sin semáforos, con Martindale Boulevard y Martindale Gate N.E. en el primer puesto; solo alrededor de la mitad de esas 50 intersecciones tienen actualmente mejoras recomendadas.

  2. Imputaciones tras choque con moto eléctrica en St. Albert en medio del aumento de hospitalizaciones por micromovilidad eléctrica. El médico de emergencias de Edmonton, Dr. Louis Hugo Francescutti, dijo a la prensa que médicos de la University of Alberta atendieron tres lesiones por e-scooter en una semana y advirtió que bicicletas eléctricas privadas pueden alcanzar 50 km/h; la colisión en St. Albert ha motivado cargos penales en ese caso.

🏈 Deportes

  1. Vernon Adams Jr. fuera; Josh Love será titular de los Stampeders contra los Tiger-Cats el sábado. Los Stampeders de Calgary (4–6) anunciaron que Josh Love hará su primera titularidad en la CFL después de que Adams sufriera una lesión en la cabeza el 13 de agosto; Love tiene 29 años y la última vez que fue titular regularmente fue en 2024 con los Memphis Showboats de la UFL.

  2. Winnipeg sorprendió a Montreal 44–28; los Blue Bombers mejoran a 6–5 y vencen a los Alouettes por tercera vez seguida. Los Blue Bombers acumularon 447 yardas netas con Zach Collaros 26 de 32 para 324 yardas y dos pases de anotación, lo que puso a Winnipeg en el tercer lugar de la División Oeste por delante de B.C. (5–5).
