Responders found the child, who was wearing a helmet, had been the sole operator of a tracked ATV and collided with a tree.
The child was taken by ambulance to a local hospital and then airlifted to a regional trauma centre where they died from their injuries, the release said.
OPP did not share the child’s gender or further details in the release.
A post-mortem has been scheduled and an investigation is underway.
