51-year-old man killed after his snowmobile crashes on Lake Delevan in Wisconsin

A missing snowmobiler was found dead after he apparently crashed on an ice-covered lake in Walworth County over the weekend. Searchers were called to Lake Delavan around 8 a.m. Sunday to look for the 51-year-old man who had been missing about 12 hours. Investigators said the man's family found his snowmobile out on the frozen lake Sunday morning and called police. "(He) hit a snow embankment or a snow drift out on the Delavan inlet, went airborne, at which time we believe the operator of the snowmobile went airborne and potentially injured themselves while out on the ice," said Juan Gomez, a warden with the Department of Natural Resources. The man's name has not been released, but officials said he was from Delavan Township. Investigators believe speed and alcohol contributed to the crash.
