1 year ago in Local

A 53-year-old Massachusetts woman is dead from a snowmobile crash in Piscataquis County Friday afternoon.

The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife says Stefanie Cappello of Southborough, Massachusetts, was traveling northbound on snowmobile trail ITS85/86 with a group of nine snowmobiles, heading towards Millinocket.

Officers say Cappello was unable to navigate the turn in an area of the trail that turned to the left, and went off the right side of the trail, striking a tree after she was ejected from the snowmobile.

Cappello was declared deceased at the scene by first responders at about 1:30 pm Friday.

The initial crash investigation by the Maine Warden Service indicates operator inexperience as a factor in the crash. The crash remains under investigation.
