Manitoba RCMP continue to investigate a fatal snowmobile crash on the Garden Hill First Nation.

Mounties were called to the scene, on the shores of Bella Lake, at about 9:30 yesterday (FRI) morning, where community members discovered a snowmobile and rider, that had been in a collision sometime overnight.

The victim, a 31-year-old Garden Hill man, whose name hasn’t been released, was not wearing a helmet, and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Initial investigation indicates the sled collided with a large snowbank, before hitting a tree, throwing the rider from the machine.
