Cyclist, 79, in critical condition after being struck by SUV in Côte-des-Neiges
Montreal police (SPVM) said it received 911 calls around 11:25 a.m. Emergency services were sent to Edouard Montpetit Boulevard at Trans Island Avenue after a vehicle collided with a man on a bicycle.
The man had sustained serious injuries to his upper body.
'The paramedics took charge of the victim and transferred him to a hospital centre in a critical state,' said SPVM spokesperson Julien Lévesque.
The 44-year-old woman driver refused transport to the hospital.
It is the second day in a row that police have responded to a cyclist getting his by a vehicle.

'We're having nightmares:' Family of teen boy fatally stabbed in Toronto's east end speaks out
Social Sharing The family of a 14-year-old boy who was fatally stabbed in the city's east end last weekend said he was a "good boy" who had big dreams for his future. Abdoul Aziz Sarr, of Toronto, was stabbed near a McDonald's in the area of Eastern and Woodward avenues just after 10 p.m. on July 5. He died in hospital, Toronto police said. His father said he found out Abdoul had been stabbed after seeing a video on social media that showed the boy injured at the fast food restaurant. "I was shaking, my body was shaking," said Samane Sarr. He and his family made their way to the hospital, where a doctor told them that his son had passed away. "Doctor was crying like a baby. I've never seen a doctor crying like that," said Sarr. "I know he did his best." Sarr said Abdoul was a nice, friendly, funny boy who was always laughing and liked being around family. He said his son wanted to become a construction worker to build a house for his mother. Muhamed Sarr, Abdoul's older brother, said he's struggling to process that his brother is gone. "I really miss him," he said. "We did everything together, we slept in the same room, we slept in the same bed sometimes." Taha Butt, Abdoul's friend, said he liked playing basketball and was excited to go to high school and "progress in life." He said that when he heard Abdoul had been stabbed, it didn't even cross his mind that the boy could die. Hours later, when he found out his friend didn't make it, he said he was speechless. "I had never lost someone who was that close to me, in such a tragic way, before. When I found out, I couldn't even speak," said Butt. Two teenagers charged Police said two 16-year-old boys have been arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with Abdoul's death. Sarr said he is not angry at the people responsible. "Maybe they did a mistake. Maybe their intention was not to kill Abdoul," he said. The incident happened just across the street from the African music festival, AfroFest. Sarr said that Abdoul went to the festival with some cousins, but they got separated, and the rest of the group couldn't find him. His cousin, Alassane Sambe, was with him at the festival and said he felt guilty when he found out what happened. "I was feeling guilty because I was the one with him, we were together, and his parents had always trusted me," said Sambe. Abdoul's aunt said she could never have imagined that an incident like that would have ever happened to her nephew. She said his death has been really hard for her family.

Horse euthanized following Saturday chuckwagon races at Calgary Stampede
A horse from Chad Fike's team was euthanized Saturday night following the eighth heat of the 2025 Rangeland Derby at the Calgary Stampede. An injured horse was euthanized following the chuckwagon races Saturday night at the Calgary Stampede. Stampede CEO Joel Cowley confirmed the incident in a Sunday press conference. 'Last night, there was an unfortunate incident,' Cowley said. 'Chad Fike, in the eighth heat of the Rangeland Derby, had a right wheel horse -a horse named Rider - suffer a fracture to his left front cannon bone. 'Upon consulting with the veterinarian on the track, it was decided that the most humane thing to do would be to euthanize that animal. 'Our condolences go out to the Fike family for their loss.' Fike pulled up during the eighth heat and received no time. The race was shown on tape delay on television and there was no mention of the incident on the broadcast apart from mentioning that Fike didn't finish. 'Prevent more suffering and deaths': VHS Sunday morning, Vancouver Humane Society campaign director Emily Pickett issued a statement, calling for the rodeo and chuckwagon races 'to be removed from the Stampede program to prevent more suffering and deaths.' Animal cruelty protest, Calgary, July 6, 2025 Animal rights activists protested rodeo and chuckwagon events at the Calgary Stampede Sunday afternoon. (Jordany Kanygin, CTV Calgary) 'The Stampede has built a careful narrative claiming organizers care about animal welfare, but animals die almost every single year. It's simply not worth the risk. If they truly cared, the so-called Half-Mile of Hell would be a thing of the past,' Pickett added. Sunday afternoon, Animal Justice issued a release calling for the Calgary Humane Society, which is responsible for enforcing Alberta's animal protection laws within the city, to investigate the incident and 'hold those responsible for causing distress, injury, and suffering accountable.' 'It is 2025, but these completely preventable killings continue to happen,' said Camille Labchuk, lawyer and executive director at Animal Justice. 'It's absurd that Stampede organizers permit this brutal spectacle to continue where horses are doomed to die nearly every year.' Saturday night's horse death was the first one of the 2025 Stampede. This is a developing story that will be updated throughout the day. With files from CTV's Jordan Kanygin
