NANAIMO — A 45-year-old Errington man has lost his life in a tragic ATV accident.

Emergency crews, including Nanaimo RCMP and Arrowsmith Search and Rescue, were called to a section of logging road west of Hwy. 19 around 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 28.

Cst. Gary O’Brien said the man went over an embankment and died of his injuries before emergency services could arrive.

“The deceased had been travelling along a trail and lost contact with the front group and was attempting to catch up and look a wrong turn.”

Other members of the riding group performed CPR on the man for 30 minutes.
