Conservation official stresses snowmobile safety

Recent heavy snowfalls throughout the region have given snowmobilers the opportunity to ride more often. But with more active riders also comes the risk of more accidents.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources has reported several snowmobiling accidents so far this year, two of which occurred in DeKalb County.

A 33-year-old DeKalb woman was injured in a snowmobiling accident in Shabbona Lake State Park last week, when she rolled over into a ditch, sustaining arm injuries, said acting Region One Commander Robert Frazier of the Illinois Conservation Police.
