It happened Friday at the home on Heilman Road in Munroe Township.  Officials say the snowmobile was running but the cover had not been completely removed from the machine. When 66-year-old Nora Killpatrick tried removing the cover it caught the throttle and caused the snowmobile to lurch forward.

Killpatrick was hit by the snowmobile, which then hit a parked car. Killpatrick was taken to the hospital where she later died from her injuries.
