DCSO filed charges on a snowmobile accident that occurred on December 16, 2009. The
original call was for a snowmobile accident east of Spirit Lake in the Hwy 9 right of way. The
involved parties were unknown at the time. Asking for the public's help, DCSO conducted an
investigation which led to the following:

Two snowmobiles were driven westbound in the Hwy 9/71 right of way east of Spirit Lake.
The lead snowmobile, a 1998 SkiDoo, was driven by Travis Miner (28) of Emmetsburg. Miner's
passenger, Ashley Reynolds (31) of Emmetsburg, fell off of the snowmobile. Reynolds was run
over by the second snowmobile, a 2006 Arctic Cat, driven by Nicholas Glover (30) of Milford.
There was no damage to either snowmobile.

A passerby drove Reynolds to the Lakes Regional Healthcare Hospital in Spirit Lake and she was
then flown to McKennan Hospital in Sioux Falls with incapacitating injuries.
