A 51-year-old man was killed when he was thrown from his snowmobile while riding on the Holland River.

His body was discovered Monday afternoon near the 13th line of Bradford West Gwillimbury at around 12:20 p.m. by a passerby, police said in a news release.

Police say there is evidence to suggest the snowmobile hit a pressure crack in the ice, forcing the rider off the vehicle.

A collision reconstruction team is investigating the scene along with the coroner.

The man’s identity has not been made public as police are still in the process of notifying his family.
