On July 7, 2014 at approximately 1:45 pm Vermilion RCMP officers were advised of the discovery of a motor vehicle in dense brush off a gravel road in a rural area south of Innisfree, Alberta. The mid to late 1990s Pontiac Grand Am had been discovered by a person walking in the area. The vehicle had come to rest against a tree.
Upon arrival at the scene, RCMP officers discovered a single motor vehicle collision. A deceased man was located inside the vehicle and was subsequently identified as Imants ZARINS, a 35-year-old foreign worker from Latvia, who had been reported missing from Innisfree, Alberta on June 30, 2014. Mr. Zarins had last been seen on or about June 28, 2014 and reported missing after failing to show up for work.
Mr. Zarins' family has been notified of his passing.

Fatal MVC near Wildwood
On July 8, 2014 at approximately 1030 am Evansburg RCMP were dispatched to a single vehicle collision several kilometres west of Wildwood on Hwy 16. Yellowhead County Fire and EMS also attended the scene.
As a result of the investigation to date it is believed that a blue 2003 Hyundai Elantra, driven by a 71 year old female from New Westminster, British Columbia, left the roadway and rolled over coming to rest on its roof in water. The driver and the 34 year old male passenger, also from British Columbia, were removed from the vehicle by passing motorists who stopped to assist.
Despite the efforts of those who stopped to assist and Emergency Services the driver died at the scene. The passenger was transported by STARS Air Ambulance to hospital in Edmonton for treatment of serious injuries. It appears both driver and passenger were wearing seatbelts.
West bound traffic on Hwy 16 was down to one lane for several hours, and closed briefly for the landing of the STARS Air Ambulance.
This collision is still under investigation but the initial indication is that speed and alcohol were not factors in the collision. Further information will be released once it becomes available.
Fatal MVC near Irricana
On Wednesday, July 9, 2014 the Beiseker RCMP were called to a serious MVC at 9:20 in the morning. The collision occurred approximately 4 kms. south of Irricana on Highway 9, where an SUV had collided with a gravel truck.

According to witnesses, the cause of the collision may have been a result of driver distraction/error. The driver of the N/B SUV swerved to the right and suddenly overcorrected to the left and into the path of the oncoming S/B gravel truck. The investigation is continuing.
Fatal MVC near Stony Plain

Suspect soliciting sexual touching from boys in Red Deer
Red Deer RCMP are searching for a man who approached a 12 year old boy on July 5 and invited sexual contact. The boy was in his yard, in the area of 48 Avenue and 46 Street, at approximately 5 pm when he saw the man hanging around the area; the man walked past once before approaching him. The man left the area when the boy’s parent approached, and was seen walking south toward Rotary Park. RCMP made immediate patrols in the area but did not locate the suspect.

- Approximately 160-180 lbs; a thin build
- Blond, very short hair

RCMP say a similar incident occurred on June 27 in the Pines neighbourhood of Red Deer; in this incident, a man described as being between 20 and 30 years old approached a 14 year old boy on the street after school and verbally invited sexual contact. Because the victim was not able to provide a physical description of the man in that incident, RCMP do not know if these two instances of invitation to sexual touching are linked.
In both cases, the boys were not touched or harmed by the male suspect(s).
