Hey there, time traveller!

NORTH VANCOUVER – Police in British Columbia say there may still be people with “intimate knowledge” who haven’t come forward to speak about the boat crash that killed a 10-year-old boy.
A statement from the RCMP appeals to anyone with knowledge of the collision and events before to “do the moral thing” and speak to investigators.
The boy was killed last week when police say a man driving a speedboat off Cates Park in Deep Cove hit two children who were being towed on an inflatable tube.
The second boy was left in critical condition and remains in hospital, and police said Thursday they can’t provide further details on his condition.
The boat operator was arrested at the scene and has since been released pending a court appearance on Aug. 27.
North Vancouver RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Mansoor Sahak says in a news release that dozens of people have provided statements but they believe others have more information to give to police.
“We would like to thank those individuals for doing the right thing to help us further our investigation. We have since learned through investigation that there may still be individuals with intimate knowledge of the collision and events prior, who have yet to come forward,” Sahak said.
