MONROE, Wis. (AP) – A 44-year-old woman suspected of drunken snowmobiling after a crash in southern Wisconsin tells Green County sheriff’s deputies the sled wouldn’t stop.
The Wisconsin State Journal reports that on Saturday afternoon the woman was driving her snowmobile across a field when she claims she found it wouldn’t stop.
The snowmobile struck a parked truck, spun around and hit a 9-year-old boy. Authorities say the snowmobile kept going until it hit a fence, ejecting the driver.
It happened near Highway 11 in Spring Grove. The woman and the boy were taken to a Monroe hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
Tentative charges against the woman include operating a snowmobile while intoxicated and causing injury by intoxicated use of a snowmobile.
