Spiel Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 Snowmobiler falls through ice Jan 24, 2008 innisfiljournal.com South Simcoe Police are warning everyone to stay off Lake Simcoe ice after a snowmobiler sank in about 20 feet of frigid water about 100 metres from shore this afternoon (Thursday). South Simcoe Police were called to Big Bay Point in Innisfil at about 12:30 p.m. to help a man who broke through thin ice while operating his snowmobile. Fortunately, the 40-year-old Sharon man was able to swim to firmer ice and pull himself out of the water and roll to safety. He then walked to a nearby cottage for assistance. He was wet and cold when police arrived but did not require medical attention. Police are issuing a warning to all persons including ice fisherman, to stay off the ice on Lake Simcoe since it is still unsafe.
