Fire truck driver under investigation after incident with male who died after snowmobile crash
The Municipality of Cumberland is currently dealing with a troubling incident that occurred involving a volunteer fire department responding to a call about a snowmobile crash in Poison Lake, N.S. Unfortunately, the snowmobile driver involved in the crash lost his life, prompting an investigation by the RCMP.
Details surrounding the snowmobile driver, such as their age, hometown, and name, remain unknown at this time. However, the Collingwood Volunteer Fire Department and other first responders quickly arrived at the scene to provide assistance. Unfortunately, it seems that something went awry with the fire truck while at the scene, leading to further scrutiny by the RCMP.
As of now, the cause of death for the snowmobile driver remains unclear. It is uncertain whether the individual passed away solely due to the snowmobile crash itself or if other factors related to the incident with the fire truck played a role. In light of these events, the driver of the fire truck has decided to step aside from all fire department duties until the outcome of the RCMP investigation is determined.
Despite the tragic nature of this incident, the Municipality of Cumberland has chosen to refrain from providing any additional comments on the matter. The situation is still under investigation, and more details may emerge as the RCMP delves deeper into the circumstances surrounding the crash.
In times like these, it is crucial for the community to come together and support one another. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of the snowmobile driver during this difficult time. We hope that the investigation will shed light on what transpired and provide closure for all those affected by this heartbreaking event.
