RED LAKE, Ont. -- Ontario Provincial Police are warning people to keep motorized vehicles off regional waterways after a pair of incidents involving drivers crashing through weakening ice.
Police, in a release issued on Wednesday night, said the first incident occurred on Tuesday when a snow machine fell through Red Lake. A day later a motor vehicle went through the ice.
Neither vehicle was completely submerged and those involved in the incidents were not injured.
"Police are urging the public to not drive a motor vehicle on the ice road at St. Paul's Bay or on the ice road between Red Lake and Rahill Beach and to use caution while being on the frozen waterway of Red Lake," the release states.
