On February 5, 2022, at approximately 4:00 pm, Lac du Bonnet RCMP received a report of two snowmobiles colliding with each other and one rider seriously injured on Bird Lake in Nopiming Provincial Park, Manitoba.

The investigation determined that two groups of snowmobilers had been travelling on a groomed trail across Bird Lake. One group, consisting of a male and a female on separate machines, went off trail in an attempt to pass another group travelling in the same direction. The female lost control of her snowmobile, ending up back on the trail and colliding with a snowmobile belonging to the other group.

The 49-year-old female driver of the snowmobile that went off trail was pronounced deceased on scene. She was from La Salle.
