Snowmobile hike in Lac-Saint-Jean turns into a nightmare for a group of tourists

 L
 A snowmobile hike in Lac-Saint-Jean turned into a nightmare for a group of nine tourists.  One or more snowmobilers fell in the evening on Tuesday.  At the time of this writing, a victim had been recovered from the waters in critical condition.  The Sûreté du Québec was however unable to confirm his death.  Five other snowmobilers were missing shortly before 11 p.m.

 "The event began around 7:30 p.m. when a snowmobile fell into the water near the Grande Décharge river, near Saint-Henri-de-Taillon.  He was able to get out of the water himself and contacted the emergency services.  At that time he had lost sight of the rest of the group.  Three other people from the group found themselves in a business in the sector.  Firefighters and police later recovered a critical water man.  He was taken to the hospital.  Rescuers are still looking for five other snowmobilers, ”said Marie-Michelle Moore of the SQ.

 The nine tourists were accompanied by a guide.  The firefighters used nautical equipment for the searches and the police criss-crossed the area by snowmobile.

 Army assistance was sought late in the evening.  A helicopter was expected before midnight
