On November 26, 2024, at approximately 5:30pm, Michigan State Troopers from the Iron Mountain Post responded to a single snowmobile accident near Knight Ave and South Park Ave that involved a 43-year-old driver and a 9-year-old passenger.
Speed and loss of control appear to be factors in the crash.

The driver sustained life threatening injuries and was transported to the Marshfield Medical Center and later transported to Green Bay where he succumbed to his injuries.
The passenger sustained minor injuries.
