50-year-old Nick Allen Potter was found pinned this week under a snowmobile in a parking lot at Echo Township Hall, located in Antrim County about 30 miles northeast of Traverse City. Cause of death was listed as traumatic asphyxia.
Andrea Albert, a conservation officer with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, says drifting snow likely caused the crash. Albert says it appears Potter failed to maneuver around a snow bank. Poor visibility was reported around the time he was last seen.
