Police are seeking assistance from the public.
The RCMP’s Major Crime Unit (MCU) West is investigating an incident that occurred on Friday, February 21 in Port au Port that left a man with serious injuries.
At approximately 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Bay St. George RCMP responded to the report of an injured snowmobiler on Gravel's Pond in Port au Port. Two snowmobilers were traveling across the pond together. One snowmobile came to a stop on the pond and the operator fell off the machine. The other snowmobiler checked on the operator and found that he had sustained serious injuries. The man was transported to the hospital for urgent medical attention. He remains in hospital at this time.
At this point in the investigation, the injuries sustained to the snowmobile operator do not appear to be consistent with the fall. The cause of the injury sustained remains under investigation by RCMP MCU.
Police ask the public to check for all available surveillance footage, including dash cam footage, in the area of Gravel's Pond and the Main Road in Port au Port between the hours of 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Friday, February 21.
Anyone having any information about this incident is asked to contact RCMP MCU West by contacting Bay St. George detachment at 709-643-2118.
