Worcester Man Critically Hurt In Snowmobile Crash

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) ― Maine wardens are investigating separate accidents that left two snowmobile riders critically injured, including a Massachusetts man.

On Friday night, 40-year-old Glen Zona of Worcester was thrown from his sled when one of his machine's skis went off a trail while riding with friends in Dennistown Plantation in Somerset County.

According to the Maine Warden Service, Zona was impaled by a root when he landed and had to be airlifted to a hospital.

On Saturday afternoon, 62-year-old Leo Mitsin was critically injured when he was thrown into a tree after his sled hit a stump near his home in the Piscataquis County town of Orneville.
