News headlines
The body of an 11-year-old Calgary boy who was swept away in the Yoho River last Friday has been found. Behzad Ahmad had been on a family day trip to Yoho National Park when they say he was playing near the water and slipped in. Relatives tried to rescue him, but he was pulled away by the current. Parks Canada and Golden-Field RCMP led an extensive search for the boy. It concluded yesterday when his body was found downstream. Sultan Mahmood, a family friend, says the family is relieved to have some closure in the tragedy, and is planning a funeral.
Police are investigating after two women were hit by a vehicle in southeast Calgary last night. It happened at 18th Street S.E. and Quarry Park Boulevard. The women were taken to hospital in critical but not life-threatening condition. Police say the driver remained at the scene.
