One man is dead following a head-on crash between two snowmobiles in Georgian Bay Township, Friday night.

Emergency crews were called to an ice-surface waterway, known as Lost Channel, northeast of Big Chute, at around 9:50 p.m. on Feb. 16.

OPP say paramedics traversed dense bush and bog conditions during a three-and-a-half-hour, land-based rescue to reach the scene.

A 52-year-old Erin man was pronounced deceased at a nearby marina, according to Southern Georgian Bay OPP.

The other driver, a 50-year-old Puslinch man, was found uninjured near the crash site.

Investigators are still looking into what caused the collision.
