RCMP officers continue to investigate a fatal snowmobile crash that occurred in the Christopher Lake district.

 

Last night around midnight, emergency crews were summoned to a groomed trail where a group of snowmobilers had been riding.

 

It was there they discovered the dead body of a 46 year-old Saskatoon man who had become separated from his vehicle.

 

Heather Russell of the RCMP says at this point it appears to be a tragic accident.

 

Russell says none of the riders who were with the man realized he had crashed until he failed to show up at a checkpoint later on.

 

His name has not been released.
