    Two young adults have died following a snowmobile crash near Cambridge in the early morning hours of the new year.

    The driver of the snowmobile, 21-year-old Hunter Melander, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Isanti County Sheriff's Office. The passenger, 21-year-old Faith Nelson, was taken to Mercy Hospital in critical condition. Nelson has since died of her injuries, the Sheriff's Office announced Tuesday afternoon.
    The crash happened around 1 a.m. on Jan. 1. According to authorities, Melander struck a tree while returning to land after a brief ride on Lake Francis. Impairment and speed might've contributed, according to the Sheriff's Office.

    The crash happened at Lake Francis around 12:50 a.m. New Year's Day. According to investigators, the friends were coming back from a short ride when they struck a tree..."The driver ?the 21-year-old male decedent...may have misjudged where the ramp off of the lake was," said Capt. John Elder with the Isanti County Sheriff's Office.
    He says neither adults were wearing helmets at the time. "These are tough scenes. These are horrible," Elder said.

    On the full sized photo you can see Faith's necklace reads "For Maddy". Her older sister Maddy died of cancer at age 18.

    I group snow mobiles in with ATV's they are dangerous. It sounds like there was alcohol and speeding going on with this case.

    Those poor parents that lost both of their daughters

    There's been a crap ton of snow this year all over anything that might be considered snow country. And some people who'd usually only be riding on trails are using snow machines in places with fences and other obstacles that make things really risky. Don't know if that has anything to do with anything.

    I think you're right. That and people using them recklessly for fun. Snowmobiles are not designed like a BMX bike to do jumps and tricks with.

    I'm with Angie. They're not that different from ATVs who people also like to drive recklessly on.

    Exactly. Physics is not on your side when accidents like these occur.

    This is also why I have, and continue to, share these stories with my adult children. I don't want them to fall victim to anything like this.



    This just sucks for all involved. And her family, losing both daughters within five years? Nope, I'm out. I don't know how you go on after that.
    Don't like what I have to say? I respect that. Go fuck yourself.
