Another Adirondacker Dies in Snowmobile Accident

 

            One week after a Warrensburg man was killed in a snowmobile accident in Schroon Lake, police say a woman died following an accident in the town of Webb.

            State Police say 22-year-old Nicole Robertello of Oriskany died when her snowmobile became submerged Saturday night in open water in the Fulton Chain of Lakes.

Robertello was driving between Second and Third lakes with her boyfriend on separate sleds when they came to a body of water. Robertello’s boyfriend accelerated to get across the water, but she fell through.

Last week, 21-year-old Benjamin G. Round of Warrensburg died in a snowmobile crash on Schroon Lake when his sled hit an ice ridge. Round and a passenger were thrown from the snowmobile. Round suffered a fatal head injury and the passenger was hurt. Neither man was wearing a helmet.
