    At this point in the investigation, the injuries sustained to the snowmobile operator do not appear to be consistent with the fall. 

    RCMP NL's Major Crime Unit (MCU) West is currently investigating an incident that happened on Friday (, February 21, 2025) 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.
