OHL playoffs last night, a heartbreaking loss for the Brantford Bulldogs. We'll have details coming up in sports. A man seriously injured after a car crashed into a Branford building yesterday. Police were called to Colburn Street just after two. A woman inside the building was taken to hospital with minor injuries. A driver was transported to hospital for treatment. 150 people still on board a cruise ship, including four Canadians, off of Cape Verde's coast in the Atlantic. Three passengers died, three more seriously ill, in a suspected outbreak of a rare hantavirus. Now it's mostly spread through rodent feces and not human-to-human contact, and happened on a polar cruise from Argentina to Antarctica. Cape Verde is not allowing the ship to dock. Police have dismantled multiple drug trafficking networks operating between Ontario and Quebec. Thirteen people facing over 100 charges. The operation uncovered 4 separate networks, including one linked to somebody who's already behind bars. And Prime Minister Carney is expected to share the name of the next governor general today.
