A Hancock man is dead after a snowmobiling accident early Friday morning.
According to the Hancock City Police, 45-year-old Robert Kiviniemi was driving his snowmobile down Tomasi Drive.
When he came to the intersection of Portage Drive, Kiviniemi apparently missed the corner, became airborne, hit a sign and was thrown from the machine.
He was taken to Portage Health where he died from his injuries.
Police continue to investigate the cause of the crash, but early indications lead them to suspect speed and alcohol may have contributed.
