One person died and another was injured in a snowmobile crash Jan. 12 in the Town of Lakewood.

Oconto County Sheriff Todd Skarban said the Emergency Dispatch Center received a call around 10:54 a.m. about the crash near McCabe and Lake John roads. When deputies arrived they found two people who had been ejected from the snowmobile when it left the trail and struck a tree, Skarban said.

Lakewood/Townsend and Mountain Area Ambulance services transported a 56-year-old woman and 57-year-old man, both from Wausaukee, to the hospital in Antigo. The woman, later identified as Victoria Schwartz, died from her injuries.

The sheriff’s office, state Department of Natural Resources and Brown County Medical Examiner’s Office were investigating.
