Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted March 7, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 7, 2023 Oxbow, Maine (WAGM) - A 57 year old man has died after a snowmobile crash in Oxbow. According to the Maine Warden Service, the fatal crash occurred on Saturday March 4th around 2:20 PM on snowmobile trail ITS 85 in Oxbow. The crash involved three snowmobiles. According to the Maine Warden Service, the initial investigation indicates that Darryl Sittler was traveling north Saturday afternoon on ITS 85 on a 2023 Ski Doo Renegade 900 ACE, and was followed by his wife who was driving on her own snowmobile. A group of three other snowmobilers were traveling south towards Sittler. Sittler, and snowmobiles driven by 20 year old Scout Sylvester, of Greene, Maine, and 23 year old Jack Sylvester (Scout’s brother), Greene, were involved in a collision near the crest of a rise in the trail. The crash heavily damaged all three snowmobiles. Both Scout and Jack Sylvester were individually driving 2022 Polaris XC 650s. Sittler passed away at the scene. Scout Sylvester was transported to Northern Light AR Gould Hospital in Presque Isle, where he was treated for an injury to his hand and released. The Maine Warden Service shut down the snowmobile trail for three hours to investigate the crash. The Maine Warden Service was assisted at the scene by Ashland Ambulance, Masardis Fire Department, Maine State Police and the Aroostook County Sheriff’s Office. Further information will be released as it becomes available. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a lot of miles on last year, and I only remember two specific riders that were completely out of control cutting every corner possible. I'm sure I was just lucky, but the level of incidents this past year was less than last year. Covid hangover wearing off maybe? Newbies gave it up? I don't know, just what I saw. And yeah, I know it only takes one a-hole to ruin a good day, or a life as described above... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know exactly what section of the trail it was on but 85 around oxbow has some really fast sections and straights no problem doing 100 if ya wanted. That and drunk not a good combo glad they got charged. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinfarmer Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Each year we find ourselves riding in the less traveled parts of the state. Weekends on the Norwegian Rivera are 100% out. If it is weekend riding, we'll go somewhere else, maybe TRF again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we used to race out of Warroad, we always wanted to go up a few days early and ride the Angle and around there, but never made time to do it.

ICG Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Sadly, i remember the sleds parked on snowbanks around the bars in Western Massachusetts, back in the 90's.... Kind of like biker bars..... Ride from bar to bar for another drink..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
