Au Train Township – A 33-year-old man has died after he was thrown from the snowmobile he was operating into a tree.
The man was on a trail in the Upper Peninsula’s Au Train Township about 8:25 p.m. Friday when he lost control of the snowmobile while trying to negotiate a curve, the Alger County sheriff’s office said in a release.
He was ejected from the snowmobile and struck the tree. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Excessive speed contributed to the incident, the sheriff’s office said.
