On February 15, 2020 at approximately 9:00 p.m., officers of the Grenville County OPP responded to a Motorized Snow Vehicle (MSV) collision involving one occupant on Kyle Road in Augusta, Ontario. The driver crashed after he lost control of the snowmobile on an S-Bend and was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
SNOWMOBILE SAFETY
The OPP, in partnership with the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC), encourages snowmobilers to educate themselves about staying safe. The OPP collaborates with the OFSC on providing safe, enjoyable snowmobiling on OFSC prescribed trails.
Adhere to OFSC trails, as these remain the safest areas to ride.
Travelling on unsafe ice, speeding, driving too fast for the conditions and alcohol consumption continue to be leading causes in OPP-investigated snowmobile fatalities
Many factors can severely limit your ability to see properly, including snow dust, white-outs, heavy snow or freezing rain, sun glare, flat light or fog; fogging or icing of visor and/or eye glasses, and darkness or over-riding your headlights.
