BRAINERD, Minn. – A teenage girl was airlifted to a Twin Cities hospital after her leg got caught in a snowmobile near Lake Mille Lacs.
According to the Crow Wing County Sheriff’s Office, first responders were called to Bay Lake, east of Brainerd where deputies learned that a 15-year-old girl from Eden Prairie was driving a snowmobile that was pulling a sled, which a 15-year-old Bloomington girl was riding on.
The driver hit some slush on the lake, lost control and hit the brakes – causing the girl on the sled to get one of her legs caught in the snowmobile’s track.
Firefighters were able to free the girl’s leg, and she was transported to Children’s Minnesota in Minneapolis for treatment. Her condition has not been released.
