Alcohol and speed are believed to be factors in a fatal snowmobile crash in the RM of Riding Mountain West, said RCMP.
RCMP from Russell were called to the scene of a collision on a groomed snowmobile trail northwest of Assessippi Ski Hill, where they found the body of a man.
The victim, from Roblin, had apparently failed to turn in time and collided with thick brush.
The man, 35, was pronounced dead at the scene. He was wearing a helmet at the time of the collision.
