66-year-old man dead after snowmobile crash on Northern Peninsula
Police say the crash area is only accessible by snowmobile
A 66-year-old man died in a snowmobile crash on Newfoundland's Northern Peninsula over the weekend, say police.
In a news release sent Tuesday, the RCMP said the man was travelling alone in the remote back country near Eddies Cove West on Friday evening, about 30 kilometres east of Port au Choix.
Two snowmobilers came across the overturned snowmobile and found the man unresponsive underneath the machine, said the release.
Officers responded to the crash site, which is only accessible by snowmobile.
They found the man dead, and crews transported his body out of the woods and to the hospital in Corner Brook.
Both police and the chief medical examiner's office are investigating.
