Kincardine teen killed in collision between snowmobile and SUV

A funeral will be held Friday morning, for 18-year-old Clint Parker of Kincardine who was killed in a collision between his snowmobile and an SUV Sunday night.

Saugeen Shores Police said the crash occurred around 5 p.m. on the Bruce-Saugeen Town Line near MacGregor Point Provincial Park, south of Port Elgin.

Police said the snowmobile was travelling on the trail when the driver failed to stop for the Stop sign at the road and collided with the SUV on the driver's side. The crash sent the snowmobile into a spin and it ended up in the ditch.
The snowmobile driver was pronounced dead at the scene, said police. The two people in the SUV were not injured.
 

Police said Parker was out snowmobiling as part of a group but he was quite a distance behind the others at the time of the crash, due to damage to his machine.

Clint Ernie Parker is the cherished son of Ernie and Ena Parker. Loved brother of Ryan and Sheldon. Sadly missed by his Oma, Mary Smid of Kincardine. Dear friend of Callie Vance of Goderich.
Also sadly missed by his uncles, Ron (Marg) of Teeswater, Harvey (Aileen) and Dennis, all of Englehart; and his aunts, Jannet Colling of Goderich, Shirley (Gary) Edwards of Bramalea, Yvonne (James) Hennessey of Portland, Irene (William) Dickie and Lorrie (Bill) Thornhill, all of Lucknow and Kathy Ackerman of Hanover.

Clint will be fondly remembered by many cousins and friends.

His friends say he was known for his love of dirt bikes, snowmobiles and cars, but Clint was much more than that. He was a young man full of joy, fun and enthusiasm for his friends, his family, and his life.
