Michigan State Police said Friday that a 49-year-old snowmobiler from Valparaiso, Indiana, was killed in a snowmobile crash in Luce County on Wednesday.
Sault Ste. Marie Post troopers were sent to Devil’s Hallow Lake Trail and County Road 371 for a report of a single-vehicle snowmobile crash on Wednesday around 9 p.m.
There they found that Robert Huffmaster had run his 2016 Ski-Doo off the trail and hit a tree, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Huffmaster was riding alone, and troopers said alcohol is believed to be a factor in the crash. The accident remains under investigation.
State police were assisted by Luce County EMS and officers from the Michigan DNR.
