(Paul Chiasson / The Canadian Press) One person is dead and two others injured after a collision in Dollard-des-Ormeaux on Montreal's West Island. Residents were woken up around 3:45 a.m. Saturday when a vehicle crashed into a tree. Several people called 911 to report the crash on Spring Garden Street, near the Fabre Street intersection. 'When the police arrived on the scene, first responders were already extricating the people who were trapped inside the vehicle. There were three men in the vehicle, one driver and two passengers,' said Officer Caroline Chèvrefils, spokesperson for the Montreal Police Service (SPVM). One of the passengers, a 26-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver and the other passenger, both 27, were taken to hospital. Their condition was not immediately known. 'The car may have been travelling at high speed before crashing into a tree. A perimeter was set up to protect the scene for investigators from the Collision Investigation Unit so that they could analyze it and try to understand the exact circumstances of the event,' said the SPVM spokesperson.

Ostriches at B.C. farm have version of avian flu not seen elsewhere in Canada: CFIA

Article content Article content It said the version includes a genotype that has been associated with a human infection in a poultry worker in Ohio. Article content The agency also said Universal Ostrich Farms in Edgewood, B.C., had been fined $20,000 for failing to co-operate with anti-avian flu measures. Article content It said the farmers who are resisting a cull order have not substantiated claims of scientific research on the birds, and that the agency's planning for a cull of the birds goes on as protesters gather in an 'apparent attempt' to block the killings. Article content Article content The statement represents a rejection of the proposals of U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who wrote to the CFIA's president last week and called for the birds to be saved for joint research. Article content Dr. Mehmet Oz, who is the administrator for the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, also said the birds should be saved and offered to relocate them to his ranch in Florida. Article content The agency said in its statement that it had issued two violation notices to the farm for failing to report illnesses and deaths among the flock last year, and failing to follow quarantine orders. Article content 'The farm also failed to undertake appropriate biosecurity risk mitigation measures such as limiting wild bird access to the ostriches, controlling water flow from the quarantine zone to other parts of the farm, or improving fencing,' it said. Article content Article content 'These actions significantly increase the risk of disease transmission and reflect a disregard for regulatory compliance and animal health standards.' Article content Katie Pasitney, whose parents own the farm, said in a brief interview that she was unsure whether the fines were a new move by the CFIA but 'nothing surprises me at this point.' Article content Dozens of protesters have gathered at the farm for weeks. Their numbers were bolstered on Friday by the arrival of a convoy of at least a dozen vehicles, social media livestreams showed. Article content Sixty-nine ostriches died in December and January during an avian flu outbreak. The farm owners have said that the surviving 400 or so birds have developed herd immunity and are a valuable resource for scientists. Article content 'CFIA has not received any evidence of scientific research being done at the infected premises,' the agency said. Article content 'Research documentation was not provided during the review of their request for exemption from the disposal order based on unique genetics or during the judicial review process. Further, the current physical facilities at their location are not suitable for controlled research activities or trials.'
