A snowmobiler was airlifted to hospital following an accident on the ice in Havelock-Belmont-Methuen.
Peterborough OPP say the snowmobile struck a pressure crack Friday afternoon and the driver was thrown approximately 30 feet.
The driver, who was wearing a helmet, was transported by ORNGE Air to a local hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
OPP remind snowmobile enthusiasts that no ice is safe ice and that with the fluctuations in temperatures this season, pressure cracks, as well as open water, should be expected.
Police say you must ensure you are travelling at speeds that will allow you to see upcoming hazards and allow you to avoid them.
