Sioux Lookout Youth Dead


A 17-year old youth has been killed in a snowmachine accident in the Sioux Lookout area.

Police say Cody Gale of Sioux Lookout was driving a snowmobile Saturday night on Pelican Lake when his machine broke through the ice.

An OPP Marine Unit and Emergency Response team located his body the next day.

Police say Gale and two other youth were snowmobiling on the lake when two of them decided to enter open waters to try their hand at "water skipping."
