Snowmobiler treated for Injuries after Trout Lake Crash
The OPP is reminding snowmobilers about unexpected hazards on the trails after a serious crash last Friday on a trail on Trout Lake.
Provincial Police say a 24-year-old rider from Barrie sustained non-life-threatening injuries after their snowmachine struck a pressure crack, they were ejected and ended up with one of their legs trapped in the snowmachine’s track.
The OPP says officers and paramedics worked to safely extricate the individual before an Ornge air ambulance landed on the frozen lake and transported the rider to the hospital for treatment.
Police say ice conditions can change rapidly, and pressure cracks may be difficult to detect.
Riders are urged to exercise caution, scan the terrain ahead, and be prepared for sudden obstacles.
