Members from the City of Kawartha Lakes Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Fire and EMS responded to a snowmobile collision on March 9, 2025, at 1:00 p.m.

The collision occurred on private property, but due to the severity of the injuries ORNGE was required for the snowmobile operator.

Highway 7 near Cottingham Road was closed for ORNGE to land.

The lone snowmobile operator, a 50-year-old female of Peterborough, was pronounced deceased.

Be Prepared: Snowmobiling incidents occur in unpredictable and uncontrolled natural settings where each rider needs to always expect the unexpected. Snowmobiling can take you far away from emergency assistance, so each rider must be prepared by carrying a tool kit, spare parts, flashlight, first-aid kit and survival items such as high-energy food, fire-starting equipment and a compass.

The OPP is committed to saving lives on Ontario’s highways, trails and waterways through the reduction of preventable injury and death.
