THE FORKS, Maine --
A man who crashed his snowmobile into a tree in Maine has died - along with a fire department chief who was on his way to rescue him.
The Maine Warden Service says Jason Dodge was snowmobiling with his brother Friday night when he crashed into a fir tree on a groomed trail in The Forks, an area noted for its camping and other outdoor activities. The warden service says the 37-year-old Dodge was wearing a helmet but suffered head and internal injuries when he lost control on a turn and hit the tree head-on.
