(Plainfield, MA) Plainfield Fire Chief David Alvord confirmed a fatal snowmobile accident in Dubuque State Park Saturday evening. Alvord said the snowmobile hit a tree on North Central Street in the forest. Because all roads in the forest become only accessible by tracked vehicles in the winter, private snowmobiles were used to respond to the scene which added to the response time. Cummington Fire Department was able to assist with large tracked vehicles that carry injured parties from the scene of an accident. The patient was transported to the hospital once out of the woods.
