ALMIRA TOWNSHIP (AP) A Midland County woman has died of injuries suffered in a snowmobile accident in northern Lower Michigan.
The Benzie County Sheriff's Department said Candace G. McDonald, 29, of Sanford died Sunday at Munson Medical Center in Traverse City.
Deputies said McDonald was snowmobiling with two family members Saturday night in Benzie County's Almira Township when she lost control of her sled, and it went airborne and crashed into a tree.
McDonald is at least the second person to die in a snowmobile accident in Michigan this season. There were 21 fatalities during the 2008-09 season that ended March 30.
