Fatal Snowmobile Crash
Authorities in northern Minnesota say a man died in a snowmobile crash early Tuesday afternoon. The crash happened on the Arrowhead Snowmobile Trail north of Orr at approximately 12:26 p.m., according to the St. Louis County Sheriff's Office. Authorities say two snowmobiles had been driving in opposite directions on the trail, navigating a curve in the trail when they "collided in a side swipe fashion." One of the snowmobiles lost control and rolled several times, ejecting the driver from it. Despite attempted life-saving measures, the snowmobile driver died on the scene. The sheriff's office identified him as a 57-year-old man from the south metro area. The other snowmobile driver was not injured.

The incident took place near the lake access on 163rd Street in Ellsworth Township, southwest of Dassel. The Sheriff's Office says the juvenile driver of the ATV told them that while returning to shore, the front end of the ATV went through the ice, and the vehicle eventually sank all the way through. Both the driver and a juvenile passenger were able to make it to shore without injury.
