4 separate accidents in 1 day in Old Forge area this Saturday, the 7th. One fatality, unfortunately. Lot of people coming up there with big iron and not really

riding responsibly. Lots of pushing for a "Slow down , stay right" campaign to try to educate people.

And people ask why I don't ride up there.  

That's because you have been introduced to Quebec trails.

Codolences to all the families that have lost a loved one and as for the ones that are still with us may they have learned from experiences.

Grave accident de motoneige au centre-ville 

Peu avant 11h00 jeudi le 9 février, un touriste américain aurait perdu le contrôle de sa motoneige avant de finir sa course dans un poteau d’Hydro-Québec sur la rue Chasles. La force de l’impact a été telle que le poteau s’est scindé en deux.

L’homme de 79 ans, originaire de Floride, a été transporté par ambulance à l’Hôpital de Mont-Laurier afin d’y soigner des blessures mineures.

La Sûreté du Québec a ouvert une enquête pour déterminer les causes de l’accident. Le manque d’expérience et une fausse manœuvre pourraient être en cause. C

Mortal snowmobile accident at Thetford Mines
One man lost his life in a frontal collision between two snowmobiles this afternoon at Thetford Mines
Rescue services were requested at approximately 11:30 am on East Hill Road, where a snowmobile trail passes.

When the first policemen arrived, a man and a woman were injured. The age of the victims is unknown.


 
Early investigations revealed that each of them had their own snowmobiles, heading in the opposite direction, and there would have been a face-to-face impact, the Thetford Mines Police Service said.

Police officers, firefighters and paramedics provided on-site care and the two victims were taken to hospitals.

The death of a 53-year-old man was reported at Thetford Mines Hospital.

The lady, aged 37, from Laurierville, was taken to the Saint-Georges de Beauce Hospital Center and transferred to the Enfant-Jésus hospital center.

According to the initial findings, alcohol would not be involved in this accident.

A technician from the Sûreté du Québec was asked to assist the police at Thetford Mines to reconstruct the scene and determine the causes of the accident.
