On February 20, at approximately 5:30 pm, Killarney RCMP received a report of a snowmobile collision in the Lake Metigoshe area of Turtle Mountain Provincial Park, Manitoba. Officers attended the scene on a snowmobile.
The investigation determined a group of four adult snowmobilers were riding on groomed trails when the lead rider drifted off the trail. It is believed one of the skis was pulled in the loose snow, and the rider hit a tree head-on. The 62-year-old male from Winnipeg was pronounced deceased on the scene.
Alcohol was not a factor in the collision, and the rider was wearing safety equipment.
The investigation continues.
