DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) - Authorities in Ramsey County have identified the snowmobiler who died when hitting open water on Devils Lake.

KZZY reports the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office says 59-year-old Lennis Sauvage of Aberdeen, South Dakota was crossing from one part of the lake to another and hit some open water under a bridge Thursday.

A friend who was ice fishing with Sauvage was behind him on another snowmobile and called 911.



The Lake Region Search and Rescue team responded, but were unable to revive him.
