One person is dead after a snowmobile ran into a water break wall on Lake Nipissing near Sturgeon Falls.
Around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nipissing West OPP and the West Nipissing Fire Service responded to the collision which took place on Lake Nipissing near St. Jean Road in West Nipissing.
The OPP say a 33-year-old-person from Exeter, received life-threatening injuries and was transported to an area hospital by Nipissing Paramedic Services and later succumbed to injuries.
The OPP would like to remind the public to use caution when out on the area lakes keeping in mind that no ice is safe ice.
"Know the area that you are traveling and stay on the trails," the OPP stated in the release.
The snowmobile fatality is the second snowmobile accident this week on Lake Nipissing. On Monday, a 70--year-old man was injured when he hit a rock and flew off his sled on Lake Nipissing in the North Bay area.
The North Bay Fire Department's Ice Rescue Unit responded.
The man was put in the rescue sled and brought to shore where they were met by ambulance and brought to the North Bay Regional Health Centre.
