One Seriously Injured in Snowmobile Accident near Cook

One person was seriously injured following a snowmobile accident near Cook on Monday. 

The St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office responded to the crash on the Arrowhead Snowmobile Trail just after noon on Monday. 

Police say 57-year-old Vivian Kec was snowmobiling with a group when she failed to negotiate a curve in the trail and struck a tree. 

Kec was taken by helicopter to a Duluth hospital in serious condition. 

Authorities say she was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash and alcohol does not appear to be a factor.
