Ontario Provincial Police say three people have died in two separate snowmobile accidents in south-central Ontario.
Police in Georgian Bay Township say they received a report of a single-vehicle collision in an isolated spot on Go Home Lake early Saturday.
The ice on the lake was unstable, so provincial police called in a Canadian Armed Forces rescue crew to help in the search and rescue process.
