1trailmaker Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 yes just terrible One man is dead and five others are missing after their snowmobiles went through the ice along Quebec's Lac Saint-Jean Tuesday night. Emergency services were called to a channel at the edge of the lake, between the towns of Saint-Henri-de-Taillon and Alma, at 7:30 p.m. ET. The snowmobilers were French tourists travelling with a guide, totalling nine people. They were driving across the snow-covered channel when the ice gave way beneath them. One person who went through the ice was helped out of the water by two members of the group who had managed to brake and avoid falling in. The three of them then drove to shore and called emergency services from a store in Saint-Henri-de-Taillon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
