The Governeur Times reported yesterday that St. Lawrence County sheriff’s deputies are investigating a fatal snowmobile accident on the Tooley Pond Road near the River Road in the Town of Clifton. A 40-year old snowmobiler of Brownville, N.Y. was traveling north on the east side of Tooley Pond Road when he crossed onto the west side of the road, struck a snow bank and was ejected.
Most snowmobile accidents are caused by snowmobile operator error, usually involving excess speed. Most snowmobile accidents involve a smowmobile driver striking a fixed object, just like in this unfortunate accident, where the driver struck a snow bank.
Sometimes snowmobile accident victims are not at fault, or some other person is partially at fault.
