TIM POND TOWNSHIP — A snowmobile outing in Maine turned tragic for the friends and family of a New Hampshire man who died when his sled crashed into another man’s sled near Eustis.

Adam Russell, 39, of New Market, N.H., died at the scene late Saturday morning when he hit a snowmobile that was parked on a trail on Tim Pond Road in Tim Pond Township.

Russell was the last in a group of four family members and friends snowmobiling together in Franklin County, said Deborah Turcotte, spokeswoman for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. The three snowmobilers ahead of him stopped on the trail.

Maine Warden Lt. Adam Gormely said Russell apparently did not see the others in his party due to low visibility because of blowing snow and wind. Russell crashed into a sled belonging to Bob Minnon of Auburn, N.H.

Russell — who was wearing a helmet — died at the scene, Gormely said. Minnon was not hurt. The incident is under investigation.
