According to officers, the crash occurred at about 3 p.m. at the 3rd Line and 30th Sideroad.

A blue Polaris 570 ATV was reportedly travelling north on the main trail, running parallel to the 3rd Line, toward 30th Sideroad.

As the blue ATV approached an east-west trail, a Polaris Razor ATV approached from the east and the two crashed, police say.

According to OPP, after the crash, the Polaris Razor ATV continued west on the trail, failing to remain at the scene and to provide help to the other driver.
