Minnesota man killed in snowmobile collision south of International Falls
A Minnesota man had died in a snowmobile collision south of International Falls.
It happened on Tuesday at around 12:30 p.m. on the Arrowhead Snowmobile Trail near Orr.
The St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office says two machines side-swiped each other as they approached each other on a curve.
This caused one of the snowmobiles to roll several times, ejecting the 57-year-old operator.
Multiple first responders and emergency personnel responded to the scene, including the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Bois Forte Police Department, Virginia Fire Department Sprint Medic, Life Link III air ambulance, Orr Ambulance, Orr Fire Department and Kabetogama First Responders.
Despite extensive lifesaving measures, the man, who has been identified as being from the south metro area, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The name of the victim has not yet been released pending notification of family members.
The driver of the other snowmobile was not injured.
