A man died in a snowmobile crash Thursday on the Arrowhead State Trail in northern St. Louis County.
According to the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office, first responders and law enforcement were dispatched at approximately 10:08 p.m. after a report of a missing snowmobiler on the trail, approximately 25 miles north of Orr. The reporting party indicated that a friend with whom he had been riding had become separated from the group.
Approximately an hour later, the lost friend was located and found dead lying near his snowmobile. The sheriff’s office said it appears he failed to navigate a 90-degree corner, resulting in a collision with a tree.
The victim is a 29-year-old man from North Branch. He was the only occupant on the snowmobile. His name has not yet been released, pending notification of his family.
The Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office and St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office are still investigating the incident.
