OPP are reminding residents to be extremely cautious when operating or handling off road vehicles used for loading and unloading.
on June 8th, the OPP say a 69-year-old male was attempting to load an ATV onto a trailer when he lost control falling backwards onto the ground with the ATV falling on top of him. Bystanders moved the ATV off of the man before calling 911. This happened in the area of Sixth Avenue South in Kenora.
Police identified the man as Albert Creed.
Kenora EMS attended and transported the man to Hospital. Hours later he was airlifted to a Winnipeg Trauma Centre due to the severity of his injuries.
Make sure you are using proper safety precautions before preparing for trips or projects in the area requiring all terrain vehicles.
