B.C. couple behind popular, off-roading YouTube channel die in crash
Social Sharing A Nanaimo, B.C., couple, who amassed a worldwide following through their YouTube channel documenting their off-road adventures, have died in an accident in the B.C. Interior. Stacey Tourout and Matthew Yeomans ran Toyota World Runners, a channel with 200,000 subscribers, showcasing off-road trips through B.C. and the world. The couple also ran a blog documenting their extensive car and RV retrofits, as well as their extensive travels throughout North and South America. News of their death, which occurred Aug. 7, was announced on social media by friends and family, and the incident was confirmed by Kaslo Search and Rescue (SAR), who attended near Trout Lake in the West Kootenay region. WATCH | Yeomans and Tourout's 2023 video talking about their journeys: "We were called out to a motor vehicle incident off-road," said Mark Jennings-Bates, a manager with Kaslo SAR. "So it was on a forestry road, somewhere in the mountains, and quite a long ways north in the valley up towards Trout Lake, the village of Trout Lake." Jennings-Bates said that rescuers had a very accurate location for where the accident occurred, and they were called out around 7:30 p.m. local time on Aug. 7. "Our teams were able to get to them efficiently. It's a long journey, but they got there efficiently," he said. "So that was very, very helpful. "And of course that means that the helicopter pilot could also fly straight to the destination with confidence that he was going to find them." 3 hiking tips you'll never forget When rescuers got to the scene, Jennings-Bates said that one of the people in the vehicle had no vital signs, and the other one was taken to hospital, where they later died. Jennings-Bates said he didn't know if the couple was filming at the time of the accident, nor did he know the exact cause of the accident, but said it is suspected to have been caused by a loss of control on rough terrain. The rescuer urged anyone going into mountainous regions to be prepared in the event of an accident, particularly as rescuers may need extra time to get there. "You're not on a highway, you don't need to wear a seat belt, but it's always good to use the safety devices that are built into the equipment to help protect you as well," he added. Colleen Tourout, Stacey's mother, posted on social media that the couple had succumbed to their injuries after an offroad accident in the mountains of B.C. "that they loved so much." "They are together forever as we knew they would always be," the post read. Another off-road YouTuber, The Story Till Now, was among the many online who expressed grief over the couple's death. post from the channel on social media.

Residents in disbelief after 11-year-old shot in Regina's Eastview neighbourhood
Social Sharing An 11-year-old girl was seriously injured in a shooting early Monday morning in Regina. Police were called to a home on the 1000 block of Edgar Street in the Eastview neighbourhood shortly after 2 a.m. CST, according to a news release. They found an 11-year-old girl suffering from a gunshot wound. Usman Gill, who lives a few doors down on Edgar Street, said he was awake when he heard a series of loud shots outside. Gill said he has lived in his home since 2019 and never had any bad experiences. It was hard for him to believe his ears when he heard the shots. "Is it the actual fire [of a] gunshot, or it is something like maybe the kids making something?" Gill remembers thinking. He said he didn't see any of what happened. "I peeked out and there was nothing here, no movement," he said. He said many residents in the area came out of their homes. Police arrived shortly after. Gill said officers told him there had been shots fired at a home from the street. He said an ambulance arrived soon and paramedics brought a young girl out on a stretcher. He said his own daughter would play with the girl in the neighbourhood from time to time. "I feel so sorry," he said. "She's a very, very little tiny girl." Gill said he is still shaken up about the incident and having to hear the gunshots, which were "very clear." "Most of the people came out, they were sleeping and they woke up with the gunshot sound," he said. "It was a very, very bad experience." Residents are still waiting for answers from police as to how or why this happened. "We have no clue … like what was the issue? Why did they do that?" Gill said. Regina police are asking neighbours who have video surveillance from the past 24 hours to reach out.
