Sledder killed in accident

One person is dead following a snowmobile accident near Revelstoke Friday.

RCMP Cpl. Thomas Blakney said emergency crews were called to Boulder Mountain following a report of a collision between two snowmobiles.

“It was determined that one of the sledders was descending down the mountain when another sled crossed in front and the pair collided,” said Blakney.

“One sledder was uninjured, unfortunately the other sledder was deceased at the scene.”

Both men were from Alberta.

Drugs and alcohol do not appear to be factors in the accident and weather conditions were good at the time.
