2014 at around 12:30 a.m. a

bound on Huron Rd (Hwy 8) east

MUNICIPALITY OF CENTRAL
HURON - On Monday August
18, 2014, around 9 p.m. Huron
County Ontario Provincial
Police (OPP) officers were dis-
patched to an All Terrain Vehi-
cle (ATV) collision on Fish and
Game Line north of Huron Road.
Investigation revealed that a green
Polaris Ranger had been driven
north bound on Fish and Game
Line approximately 500 meters
north of Huron Road, when the
driver lost control. The vehi-
cle entered the east ditch and
veered back onto the gravel
roadway where it tipped onto
its side. Two of the male riders
were able to get loose and away
from the vehicle while a third
male was trapped underneath.
The Central Huron Fire Depart-
ment and the Huron EMS removed
the trapped 14 year old male
from underneath the ATV. He was
transported to a local hospital and
subsequently transported to Lon-
don by air ambulance for treat-
ment for his major but non -life
threatening injuries. The 13 year
old male driver sustained minor
injuries while the third male, 14
years of age was uninjured. All
three males are residents of the
Municipality of Central Huron.
The Huron County OPP is
continuing their investiga-
tion into this collision.
ASHFIELD-COLBORNE-WAWANOSH
TWP - On Friday August 15,
2014, shortly after 2:20 p.m.
Huron County Ontario Provin-
cial Police (OPP) officers were
dispatched to Point Farms Pro-
vincial Park where a swim-
mer was reportedly in distress.
Investigation revealed that a num-
ber of males had been swim-
ming in Lake Huron at Point Farms
Provincial Park. The males who
were approximately 25 meters out
into the lake decided to return to
shore. One of the males remained
in the water and swam further
out. The lone male who was now
approximately 35 meters from
shore appeared to be in distress
and was yelling for help. He was
having difficulty in the rough
water and was unable to make
it back to shore on his own.
Three males entered the water
with floatation devices and
swam out the distressed swim-
mer. They reached the male and
were able to safely pull him to the
shore where he was attended to
by Huron EMS paramedics. The
distressed male, a 21 year old
Township of Perth East resident
was transported to a local hos-
pital for medical evaluation.
Water conditions at the time were
less than ideal, it was windy
and the waves were high. It is
believed that the swimmer may
have encountered an under-
tow. Without the efforts of the
three males this incident may
have had a tragic outcome.
The Huron County OPP wants
to remind the public, that when
strong winds are blowing and
large waves are rolling in, beach
goers and swimmers have to
respect the power of the rip cur-
rent (undertow). This is the force
of the water returning to the cen-
tre of the lake after hitting the
sore. Very seasoned and capa-
ble swimmers have lost their
lives in the rough waters of Lake
Huron. Experts recommend
swimming across, not against
a rip current, however the best
way to protect your self is to
avoid them all together by stay-
ing out of the water when it is
windy and the waves are large.
