RCMP used a snowmobile sled to rescue a senior who was in medical distress at a remote cabin near Suwannee Lake.

Leaf Rapids RCMP were contacted at about 6:15 p.m. Tuesday. They were told a friend of the 85-year-old man had driven away from the cabin on snowmobile and was waiting to take officers to the remote location.

RCMP officers and a medical crew met the friend about 40 km south of Leaf Rapids and then travelled by snowmobile to the cabin, about approximately 6.5 km away.

The man was transported back to the road and then taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
