Saturday afternoon the Lac du Bonnet RCMP responded to a call of a snowmobile collision on Bird Lake in Nopiming Provincial Park, Manitoba.
After investigation, it was determined that two riders tried to pass another group going in the same direction by leaving the groomed trail. One of the drivers, a 49-year-old female from La Salle, lost control of her snowmobile and ended up back on the trail, colliding with a rider from the other group.
The rider who lost control was pronounced deceased on the scene. The investigation is still underway.
