Idaho Woman Killed in Snowmobile Accident
A woman from Idaho was killed and her husband injured in a Sunday morning snowmobile accident in Yellowstone National Park.
The Mountain Home, Idaho couple was on a guided group snowmobile trip. They were riding together on a snowmobile when the accident occurred on the road between Norris and Canyon Village.
The couple was eastbound when the woman lost control of the snowmobile on the road near Ice Lake. The machine flipped over head-to-tail. The man was thrown clear; his wife was trapped between the snowmobile and some trees.
The accident was reported about 10:45 Sunday morning. The woman was unresponsive when rangers arrived and was declared dead at the scene. Her injured husband was flown by Air Idaho Rescue helicopter to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls for treatment.
The identities of the couple are being withheld pending notification of family members.
The cause of the accident remains under investigation. This is the first fatal accident in the park this year.
