Friday night 1-13-06 2 miles down the road from my house at the corner of my grandma's property. We have about 4 inches of hard crusty snow and the roads are all ice. A snowmobiler hit a tree on a corner of Old Vanderbilt Rd and was killed,when he hit the tree his sled shot across the road and into the path of the other snowmobiler who is in critical condition. You could see the skid marks in the ice from the studs. This is all the details I have at this time.


Slow down people speed kills!!!

Wow.......Very sad indeed and yet another reminder of how precious life is and how fast it can be gone if we don't use our heads.....

Update

The 21 year old was at a local bar for a birthday party.When he hit the tree he was alone and the impact split his helmet in two pieces. Alcohol speed and conditions were all factors.
