Ontario Provincial Police have found two missing ATVers dead in the Batchewana Bay area.
Sault Ste. Marie OPP say they responded to report of two missing people in the Tribag Mine Road area of Batchewana Bay around 4 o'clock Friday afternoon, with investigation determining three side-by-side ATVs were on a bush road - two crossed through a hazard in the road and travelled several hundred meters before stopping to wait for the third, which never caught up, prompting the search.
The missing side-by-side was found submerged in the Batchewana River several kilometers away shortly before 10 o'clock Saturday morning, with the riders found deceased.
They've been identified as 78-year-old Rudolph Weatley - the driver - and 76-year-old Vera Molochnikova, the passenger - both were from Sault Ste. Marie.
OPP Technical Traffic Collision Investigators and the Office of the Chief Coroner-Ontario Forensic Pathology Service are assisting with the investigation.
