A girl is dead after a snowmobile collision Friday night.
Gods Lake Narrows RCMP were contacted about the incident near the community at about 8 p.m.
Police said a 12-year-old girl was thrown from a toboggan she was on with two other kids, also 12 years old, that was being pulled by a snowmobile. A 12-year-old boy was driving the snowmobile, with a 14-year-old passenger on it.
RCMP believe the toboggan hit a tree stump on a riding path, causing the crash. The girl who was thrown suffered life-threatening injuries.
The driver went to the local nursing station for help, and a medical van was sent to pick up the victim to take her to the station, where she died.
None of the children were wearing helmets, RCMP said in a news release Tuesday.
