In Local

(North Kawartha Township, ON) – Members of the Peterborough County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and emergency services were called to assist with a report of snowmobilers that had been located in the water of Jack Lake south of the village of Apsley this morning at approximately 10:00am.

The male and female snowmobilers did not return from their ride last night and were last seen at 11:00pm. They were located this morning approximately thirty feet from shore and were pronounced dead at the scene.

The accident remains under investigation and the identity of the victims will not be released until next of kin are notified.
