An RCMP epaulette is seen in Edmonton, Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jason Franson Halifax RCMP is asking for the public's help identifying a man involved in a crash in Westphal early Saturday morning. Police and fire services responded to a report of a single-vehicle crash in the 200 block of Lake Major Road around 1:09 a.m., a release from the RCMP reads. RCMP officers learned a Pontiac Grand Prix was travelling at a high rate of speed when the driver lost control and struck a power pole, severing the pole.
