Woman injured in snowmobile crash

Posted

REGIONAL— An Iowa woman sustained an apparent broken arm and other injuries last Friday evening after she lost control of her snowmobile on the Taconite Trail, near Star Lake. The remote lake is located about a mile west of Bear Head Lake State Park.
The 61-year-old woman was ejected from her sled as she lost control of the vehicle while attempting to negotiate a turn. Emergency responders subsequently transported the woman to Ely Bloomenson Hospital with apparently non-life-threatening injuries.
Speed and icy trail conditions are believed to have been contributing factors to the accident. The incident remains under investigation by the St Louis County Sheriff’s Office.
