    More than 50 people have been injured in an intercity coach crash in the province of British Columbia, Canada.

    BBC reports that it happened near the town of Merritt, where temperatures dropped to -3.9C on Saturday.

    British Columbia’s Interior Health authority has issued a Code Orange, meaning services are responding to a disaster or mass casualties.

    It is not known what caused the crash, which happened about 160 miles (260km) from the provincial capital, Victoria.

    Fifty-three people were taken to hospital following the incident. Their conditions have not been disclosed by the local health authorities.

    Premier David Eby said he was “shocked and saddened” to hear of the “serious” incident.

    He added: “Our thoughts are with those impacted by the crash, their loved ones, and the first responders and health-care workers giving their all to treat people and keep them safe.”

    A special weather statement issued at 16:24 (12:24 GMT) on Saturday warned of “challenging” travel conditions on the Okanagan Connector due to heavy snow, ice pellets and freezing rain.

    All railway services between Canada’s two biggest cities, Toronto and Montreal, have been cancelled for Christmas Day after a train derailed in poor weather conditions.

    Rev. Fr. Anthony Odiong, a US-based Nigerian Louisiana Catholic priest, was arrested in Florida on Tuesday for possessing child pornography, according to law authorities.  The suspect is reportedly accused of many other cases of sexual assault.  The Waco, Texas, Police Department announced in a Facebook post on Tuesday that officers detained Father Anthony Odiong in Ave Maria, Florida, with assistance from the United States Marshals Service.  Waco police announced in March that they had received "credible information" about a sexual assault allegedly committed by Odiong in Texas in 2012. “During the subsequent investigation, a case of possession of child pornography was uncovered,” the police said.  The priest was apprehended in Florida by the Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force.  The Waco Police Department said that he will be extradited to Texas.  Odiong had previously served in the Archdiocese of New Orleans before being removed as priest in December of last year due to controversy over homilies in which he claimed, among other things, that the Catholic Church was being taken over by "the gays." At the time, the priest was also accused of abusive behaviour; a Louisiana lady claimed in U.S. bankruptcy court that Odiong had committed both financial and sexual abuse against her.  Prior to joining the New Orleans Archdiocese, Odiong served in at least two Texas parishes.  On Tuesday, Waco police stated that during their sexual assault investigation, "the presence of other survivors was revealed." “Multiple women have come forward to tell similar experiences as the sexual assault survivor who reported the initial allegation,” the police department said.  “Survivors’ experiences ranged from sexual assault and indecent assault, more commonly recognised as groping, and financial abuse, with some survivors experiencing every element of Anthony Odiong’s manipulation.” The police said they “believe there may be more survivors, and we wish to speak with anyone who [has] had similar encounters” with the priest. The Archdiocese of New Orleans issued a brief news release on Tuesday noting Odiong's arrest in Florida. The archdiocese “encourages anyone with any information to contact law enforcement,” the release said.
