Multiple people were killed and dozens more were injured when an explosion erupted at a Canadian military base, according to authorities. The deadly blast occurred on Saturday afternoon at the Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Wainwright in Alberta province, igniting a massive fire that was fanned by high winds and spread from the sprawling military facility into the surrounding rural area, Canadian officials said. During a news conference on Sunday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said at least four service members were killed in the blast and subsequent "violent fire," and that "dozens more are seriously wounded. "Carney called the incident "one of the worst tragedies for the forces on Canadian soil in peacetime. "Citing multiple military sources, the Canadian Global Television Network's Global News reported earlier on Sunday that at least seven people were killed and dozens more were injured. "I cannot recall an incident like this in recent memory," Canadian Minister of National Defense David McGuinty said during a news conference on Saturday night at the military base near the small town of Wainwright. The cause of the explosion is under investigation, military officials said.

Former GOP nominee for lieutenant governor pleads not guilty to charges of drunk driving, speeding

Police said he was unable to perform field sobriety tests due to his injuries and vomited before he was placed under arrest, records show. A police report filed in court said officers arrived at the crash to find Oliver’s Lincoln Navigator overturned. Oliver ”was sitting on a chair that a civilian had brought out for him,” the report said. “Shawn was observed to have a laceration on the right side of his head and was bleeding.”Police also spotted a badly damaged gray Camry and an extensively damaged red Camry. The latter vehicle “was pushed back, causing it to collide into another parked vehicle,” police said. “In total, 5 parked vehicles were involved.”One witness, police said, described being behind Oliver’s Navigator at a red light before the crash. “The witness stated that when the light turned green, the Navigator remained stopped, he then had to put his car in reverse in order to see if the light was green,” police said.
