OPP reminds snowmobilers to ride safely

The OPP is urging snowmobile enthusiasts to be careful.

There have already been five fatal motorized snow vehicle collisions in Ontario since the start of the season.

Police warn snowmobilers to exercise caution at all times while out enjoying what should be a safe winter recreational activity.

This is especially important during heavy snowfall, high winds, when snow banks are present and when visibility becomes obscured or is reduced to zero.
