The lone operator of the machine was eastbound on the snowmobile in the vicinity of Portage Avenue, when he lost control and struck an island. Nearby ice fishermen notified police and provided assistance to responding emergency personnel.

The man was rushed to St. Joseph’s Health centre where he is being treated for serious injuries.

The accident is being investigated by the Traffic Unit of the Greater Sudbury Police Service
