A 32-year-old male passenger and a 30-year-old female driver, both from Illinois, were involved in a crash while riding a 2024 Polaris two-person snowmobile. The crash occurred when they hit an iron structure. Deputies found the riders with serious injuries, despite wearing helmets. The passenger later died from his injuries at a hospital, according to CBS News Detroit.
