MUNISING TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Investigators say a Rockford man was critically injured in a weekend snowmobile crash in the Upper Peninsula.

The crash happened around 11:10 p.m. Sunday on Trail 8 near Melstrand, east of Munising and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.

First responders pulled him from the wreckage and he was flown to a Marquette hospital, where he was listed in critical condition Tuesday.

Investigators believe speed and alcohol played roles in the crash, which is under investigation.
