Bracebridge OPP says a pair of young teenagers were riding on Muskoka Road 169 near Bala on a sled that police claim had numerous mechanical deficiencies.
Officers say the 13-year-old operator and 14-year-old passenger had a flashlight duct taped to the hood as a headlight on the uninsured machine.
Police say that besides the pair being too young to be riding on a roadway, they shouldn’t have been on a ‘decrepit machine’ like the one they were operating.
Officers remind snowmobilers to ride safely, making sure the machine is mechanically sound and in good working condition.
