Ontario Provincial Police said the crash happened on Stewarts Road in Perry Township around 6:50 p.m.

Three people were riding on the ATV at the time, OPP Const. Melissa Thomas told CTV News in an email.

Bader, 42, was pronounced dead at the scene. Her daughter was airlifted to hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries. Bader's nine-year-old sustained non-life-threatening injuries in the crash, Thomas said.

A online fundraiser for her son who survived raised more than $27,000.

Muskoka Paramedic Service, Parry Sound District Emergency Medical Service and Perry Fire Department responded to the emergency call along with the Almaguin Highlands OPP detachment.

Members of the OPP crime unit and traffic incident management enforcement team are helping with the ongoing investigation, which is being directed by the chief coroner and forensic pathology service.
