Edmonton man dead after three-vehicle collision in Spruce Grove
Parkland RCMP responded just before 5 p.m. Thursday to a report of a serious vehicle collision at the intersection of Jennifer Heil Way and Tri Leisure Way in Spruce Grove, they said in a Friday news release. When they arrived, they found a 40-year-old Edmonton man dead at the scene.
Mounties say a motorcycle was driving north on Jennifer Heil Way when it rear-ended a stopped GMC vehicle. The motorcyclist was thrown from his vehicle and hit the trailer of a third vehicle.
The occupants of the other two vehicles were uninjured.
Traffic in the area was delayed for several hours while RCMP investigated the collision. The roads have been reopened and traffic is now flowing normally.

A bird dropped a fish on power lines and sparked a brush fire in Canada, firefighters say
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — An osprey caught a fish but got tired in the heat and dropped it onto power lines, sparking a brush fire in western Canada — at least that's what firefighters believe. Or maybe the bird is an aspiring chef. 'Another suspicion could be that it's tired of raw fish and wanted to give cooked a try,' the Ashcroft Fire Rescue service said in a tongue-in-cheek social media post about the incident. The firefighters shared photos of the charred fish on the blackened ground and said the fire took place July 30 about 6 kilometers (4 miles) south of the British Columbia town of Ashcroft. They said investigators found that the fish 'had been dropped by a local osprey onto hydro lines,' with the resulting embers starting the fire on dry grass below. The fire occurred about 3 kilometers (2 miles) west of the closest river, and investigators said they suspect the bird took flight after catching the fish but got tired and dropped the fish because it was large and because the temperatures were high at the time. The post says firefighters have verified that the 'prime suspect sustained no injuries in the incident.' The incident briefly knocked out the power for Ashcroft, and firefighters and ranchers used about 4,800 gallons of water to put out the blaze.
