Authorities in Hand County say a 25-year-old Highmore man died from injuries suffered in a weekend snowmobile accident.

The Hand County Sheriff's Department says Winston Ray Hemminger
lost control of his snowmobile on private property southwest of Wessington about 4:45 p.m. on Sunday.

Sheriff Douglas DeBoer says he thinks speed played a role in the
crash.
