(KNSI) — A 59-year-old Holdingford man was seriously injured in a snowmobile crash Tuesday night.

According to the Stearns County Sheriff’s Office, a 911 call came in just after 6:20 about the crash in Holding Township. Authorities say Jeffrey Stoermann drove over a hill, and when he got to the bottom, there was a lip that caused his snowmobile to go airborne. After it landed, Stoermann could not correct in time and drove into a wooded area at a high rate of speed and hit a tree. Stoermann was transported to the St. Cloud Hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Police say Stoermann had extensive experience in operating snowmobiles and was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, but alcohol is believed to be a contributing factor. The crash remains under investigation.
