Waterloo Regional Police say a child suffered serious injuries following a crash involving a tube being pulled by a snowmobile in Wellesley Township on Saturday.

Emergency crews were called to a private property in the area of Boomer Line and Herrgott Road just after 2:30 p.m. for reports of a collision.

In a news release on Monday, police said as the snowmobile pulled the 11-year-old, the tube left the pathway and struck a tree.

Paramedics took the young girl to a hospital outside of Waterloo Region and police said her injuries are considered serious but non-life-threatening.

The snowmobile driver, a 56-year-old man, reported no injuries to police.
