Sebago Lake, Maine – A 27-year-old Casco man was injured in a snowmobile accident at approximately 4 p.m. today on Sebago Lake near Frye’s Leap.

The sled tipped up onto its left side and Mr. Smith fell off the sled and down the ice,” Sgt. Place said. “The sled did not land on him. It went one way and Mr. Smith went the other.”Sgt. Place said imprudent speed may have been the cause of the accident.

Mr. Smith was talking when he was transported by ambulance from the scene. At this time it is not known which hospital the ambulance took Mr. Smith. His injuries also are unknown.“He was talking when he left,” Sgt. Place said. The accident remains under investigation.
