Man dies in riding accident
A Ridgeville, Washington, man
was killed in a snowmobile accident west of Sisters on Saturday, January
12.
According to Deschutes County
Sheriff's Office reports, Robert Larry Allen, 35, died at the scene of
the accident 8.7 miles from Ray Benson Sno-Park off Highway 20.
Sisters-Camp Sherman fire
units and members of the Camp Sherman Hasty Team responded to the scene
and confirmed the death. Deschutes County Sheriff's personnel then took
over the investigation.
The death has been ruled accidental,
though an investigation is continuing.
Sheriff's office reports noted
that Allen was wearing a helmet, but was known to leave his helmet strap
unbuckled. It is not known whether that contributed to the severity of
the accident, deputies reported.
