Praying for our friend

Divers are still searching the Ottawa River for a missing snowmobile driver who went through the ice on Sunday night. David Parker, 36, of Constance Bay was trying to cross the river near the dam at Fitzroy Harbour when the snowmobile fell through thin ice, sending him and his passenger into the frigid water.

The passenger, also 36, made it to shore and pull himself out of the river. It was the second time in eight days that a snowmobile went through ice near Fitzroy Harbour. The first incident happened on Feb. 12 and involved Kanata's Brendan Nash, who died in the incident. That same weekend, another snowmobile driver died in a crash.
