Is it ok to park at Waterloo Rod and Gun? Or is there somewhere else in that when coming from Guelph area. I rode the yellow trails on Friday, they were very good.
One man is dead and another injured following a harrowing rescue operation Monday afternoon when two snowmobilers fell into icy waters at Bay Lake in Latchford.
Yesterday at 3:10 p.m.Temiskaming OPP, along with the North East Region Emergency Response Team, responded to a call involving three snowmobilers travelling on Bay Lake. Two of the snowmobilers broke through the ice and became trapped in the freezing water.
"After a courageous and coordinated effort by several rescuers, both individuals were pulled from the water and transported to hospital," said Acting Sergeant Martin Thibault. "Despite lifesaving efforts, one of the snowmobilers was pronounced deceased at hospital. The second individual sustained non-life-threatening injuries."
Additional emergency resources were deployed, including the Latchford Fire Department, the Temiskaming Shores Fire Department and its Ice Water Rescue Team and drone, as well as Ornge air ambulance.
The OPP reminds all outdoor enthusiasts to exercise extreme caution when travelling on frozen waterways. Ice conditions can be unpredictable, and checking ice thickness and safety before venturing out is essential.
