A woman from Idaho was killed and her husband injured in a Sunday morning snowmobile accident in Yellowstone National Park.
The Mountain Home, Idaho couple was on a guided group snowmobile trip. They were riding together on a snowmobile when the accident occurred on the road between Norris and Canyon Village.
The couple was eastbound when the woman lost control of the snowmobile on the road near Ice Lake. The machine flipped over head-to-tail. The man was thrown clear; his wife was trapped between the snowmobile and some trees.
