A 59-year-old woman is dead after a snowmobile crash Thursday in Vilas County, one of two fatalities reported within hours of one another in the northwoods.
The medical helicopter was later called off and the woman died at the scene of her injuries, according to Vilas County Chief Deputy Patrick Schmidt.
Officials say the snowmobile driver veered off the trail and struck a tree on a trail near marker 920. The name of the victim, who is from Phelps, is being withheld pending family notification.
