(AP) Officials say a 56-year-old New Hampshire man died when his snowmobile broke through the ice on Maine’s Moose Head lake.
Maine game wardens say Steven Allard, of South Hampton, New Hampshire, and his wife were snowmobiling together on two separate sleds and were returning to Rockwood cottages. Allard left and looped around towards the mouth of the moose river when he broke through the ice.
He was unresponsive when he was pulled from the water Sunday evening about an hour after falling in and was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
Wardens remind riders to be aware of their surroundings and understand that ice conditions can change quickly.
