Michigan State Police (MSP) troopers from the Manisitque Outpost and Gladstone Post were called out around 2:45 p.m. Thursday to the area of Trail 413 near Camp 7 Road in western Schoolcraft County for reports of a woman hitting a tree.
Troopers and other first responders, including Guardian Flight arrived, but the woman died at the scene.
The driver has been identified as 46-year-old Alain Davis from the Charlotte area of southern lower Michigan. She was riding with her husband who was on a separate snowmobile when the crash happened. Davis was headed east on Trail 413.
As she approached a “Y” intersection, she was not able to handle the curve and drove off the posted trail. Davis lost control and hit several tree stumps before being thrown from the snowmobile and hitting a tree. Alcohol is not believed to have been a factor in the crash.
