Woman Dies in Snowmobile Mishap

Police are investigating a snowmobile crash that claimed a woman's life in Cumberland County.

At 6:20 pm last night, Oxford RCMP responded to a 911 call of a snowmobile crash on Sutherland Lake. 

The operator, a 25-year-old Enfield woman, died near the scene after being thrown from the vehicle. An adult male passenger was also thrown as a result of the crash but was not injured.

The initial investigation indicates the snowmobile struck a piece of land on the lake while visibility was low due to white-out conditions.
