(KNSI) – A man was taken by helicopter to a hospital after a snowmobile crash on the Lake Wobegon Trail in Stearns County.
The sheriff’s office says around 5:30 p.m. on Friday, first responders were called to a crash about a quarter-mile east of State Highway 238 near 360th Street in Albany Township.
Officials say 44-year-old Jason Panek of St. Stephen was heading east on a snowmobile when he left the trail and struck a tree. First responders say he was conscious and appeared to have injuries to his right arm and right leg.
