CACHE COUNTY, Utah — A 12-year-old boy was injured Sunday in a snowmobile accident in Cache County.

The Cache County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue Team responded to an area just east of Hardware Ranch around 12:30 p.m.

The boy was snowmobiling with his family when the snowmobile he was riding on crashed into a tree.

Lt. Doyle Peck tells FOX 13 News the boy was located and was lifted off the mountain by a helicopter with a hoist.

He was then placed in a Life Flight helicopter and transported to a hospital shortly after 5 p.m.

Lt. Peck says the boy is in stable condition with some injuries to his chest from hitting the tree.
