ACCIDENT SENDS ONE TO HOPITAL
Batchewana

The O.P.P. along with the Batchewana First Response and Air Ambulance responded Saturday to an all Terrain Vehicle accident 60 klms north of the Sault.

Joseph Golebiewski, age 55, of Sault Ste. Marie failed to negotiate a washout on a road that he and a friend were travelling. Golebiewski was thrown from the 2002 Suzuki he was driving at 11:15am. A friend located him a short time later, pinned against an embankment by his ATV.

He received life-threatening injuries and was flown to St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto. There was no alcohol involved and Golebiewski was wearing a helmet.

The Sault detachment of the O.P.P. received seven reports of cabins being broken into in Slater Township along the shore of Lake Superior about 90 klms north of the Sault.

It appears as though only food, liquor and gasoline were taken. Those responsible may have been on all terrain vehicles. If you have any information, the O.P.P. ask you to contact them at 945-6833 or call Crime Stoppers.
