A Happy Valley-Goose Bay man who survived his snowmobile bursting into flames — while he was out for a ride — has launched and lawsuit and wants Transport Canada to investigate what went wrong with the machine. "I don't know if I was thrown, ejected or jumped from the snowmobile ... Then I jumped up and ran towards the snowmobile. But, more than a new machine, Curlew wants Transport Canada to "investigate this and make this right." (Submitted by Tony Curlew)Curlew says he reached out to Transport Canada and was told the incident would have to be part of a trend before an investigation is launched. BRP and Transport Canada have not yet responded to CBC's request for comment.
