Boy, 13, in critical condition after snowmobile crash on Northern Peninsula
Police say a 13 year-old-boy remains in hospital in St. John's in critical condition, after the snowmobile he was driving collided with a vehicle near the community of Anchor Point on the Northern Peninsula Thursday afternoon, closing a portion of Route 430.
The RCMP said the boy was transported from the scene to the hospital in St. Anthony, and then airlifted to St. John's, but have not specified the nature of his injuries.
The accident happened shortly after 4 p.m on Rte. 430.
Traffic was diverted away from the highway after the accident, through the town of Anchor Point. That detour remained in effect until about 12 p.m. Friday.
RCMP detachments from Flower's Cove and Port Saunders continue to investigate the cause of the accident.
