One Dead And One Injured After Snowmobile Crash At MacDougall Lake

A crash at a local lake causing one death and sending another man to hospital.

Police tell Tide News a 23-year-old man from St. George -- who was driving a snowmobile early yesterday morning at MacDougall Lake -- died after crashing the machine on the shoreline.

District 1 RCMP say a 22-year-old passenger was sent to the Saint John Regional Hospital with serious, but not life-threatening injuries. He remains in hospital.

Investigators believe the men may have struck a large bed of rocks while they were crossing the lake, causing them to lose control and crash the machine.
