Police are investigating after an incident left a man with serious injuries in Port au Port on Friday.

Bay St. George RCMP responded around 4:30 p.m. to the report of an injured snowmobiler on Gravel’s Pond in Port au Port. Two snowmobilers were traveling across the pond together. One snowmobile came to a stop on the pond and the operator fell off the machine. The other snowmobiler checked on the operator and found that he had sustained serious injuries. The man was taken to the hospital for urgent medical attention. He remains in hospital at this time.
