The State Police have released the identity of a Pittsfield woman killed in a snowmobile accident last Wednesday, according to The Berkshire Eagle.
Michelle M. Vincent, 56, was confirmed as the victim in last Saturday’s fatal snowmobile crash in the Kenneth Dubuque Memorial State Forest. The state forest spans Hawley, Savoy, and Plainfield Massachusetts, and is a popular spot for riding.
Plainfield Fire Chief David Alvord said Vincent passed away after her snowmobile struck a tree Saturday evening in the State Forest. She was leading a group of snowmobilers who had gone out that day to enjoy near-perfect trail conditions according to reports.
