A 58-year-old man from Bertrand died Thursday night when the motorcycle he was driving crashed into a pickup truck in Esgenoôpetitj First Nation in northeastern New Brunswick, RCMP say.

At about 10:15 p.m., the Neguac RCMP, Ambulance New Brunswick and Neguac Volunteer Fire Department responded to the collision on Peter's Road, the RCMP said in a news release Friday.

The collision is believed to have happened when the pickup truck travelling south made a left turn and hit the motorcycle, which was travelling north.

The motorcycle driver was transported to hospital where he died from his injuries. The driver of the pickup truck, a 34-year-old man from Saint-Wilfred, was not injured. Both were the only occupants of their vehicles, the RCMP say.

An autopsy will be done to determine the exact cause of death.

    Houston Zoo staff are extra delighted this U.S. Mother’s Day as their Asian elephant Shanti is a mum-to-be! The pregnant pachyderm, 33, is expected to give birth at the end of 2024 and has actually been pregnant a while before showing as the average gestation for an elephant is approximately 659 days or 22 months. The father is 58-year-old Asian elephant, Thailand. The calf’s sex will remain a surprise for all as ultrasounds are not able to determine the gender. Shanti is an experienced mum and very attentive to her calves as she watches over them closely. Guests at the zoo already fawn over Shanti with her two youngest, Nelson (4) and Joy (6), in the elephant habitat. By tracking Shanti’s hormone levels, the zoo’s veterinary team is optimistic about the progression of the pregnancy. When she’s ready, Shanti will give birth in the Zoo’s McNair Asian Elephant habitat cow barn under the supervision of her keepers and veterinary team. Once the calf is born, Shanti and her newborn will undergo post-natal exams and bond as mother and child before joining the rest of the herd.

  • Gold could go 4.8% higher on asset inflation, Fed: Strategist

    Gold (GC=F) has seen quite the run in 2024 and is set for its best week since early April. The commodity is often viewed as a hedge bet against inflation, but could all that change if the Federal Reserve decides to cut interest rates? Path Trading Partners Co-Founder and Chief Market Strategist Bob Iaccino joins Catalysts to discuss the momentum behind gold futures and what it means for both the Fed and gold traders Iaccino speculates on gold's future movements: "If inflation is picking up again, which I believe it is, gold will rally as a function of asset inflation." He continues: "When you look at asset inflation that comes with it, those of us that own assets like gold, we benefit from that. So my target for gold is about 4.8% higher from here. Very specific: $2,491 [per ounce]. If you get to $24,91, the speculator will probably push it to $2,500 just because they like those numbers."
