Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are looking into an ATV accident that resulted in the death of a 5-year-old child in Brudenell, Lyndoch, and Raglan (BLR) Township over the weekend.
Renfrew County paramedics, along with police, responded to the incident that took place around 11:00 a. m. on Saturday, Jan. 10.
Officials mentioned in a release that the single-vehicle crash involved a tracked ATV on private property. Initial details of the investigation indicate that the sole operator was a 5-year-old child who was wearing a helmet when the ATV hit a tree.
An ambulance took the child to a local hospital, and then an air ambulance transported the 5-year-old to a regional trauma centre. Unfortunately, there, the child passed away due to their injuries.
The investigation is ongoing with the Chief Coroner and Ontario Forensic Pathology Service as a post-mortem is planned.
Anyone with information about this collision is encouraged to contact the Upper Ottawa Valley OPP at 613-757-2600 or Pembroke/Renfrew County Crime Stoppers.
