A Maine man has died in a snowmobile crash.

State authorities say 25-year-old Emmanuel Bouchard, of Caribou, was in Stockholm with a group of about a dozen snowmobilers at about 9:30 p.m. Friday.

When the group got to Caribou, they realized that Bouchard was not with them.

According to the initial investigation by the Maine Warden Service, it appears Bouchard was traveling at a high rate of speed when he veered off the right side of the trail, down a steep embankment and struck several large trees.

Authorities say he was wearing a helmet, and alcohol does not appear to be a factor.
