Eastern Idaho officials have identified a North Dakota man killed in a snowmobile crash.

The Fremont County sheriff’s office says 32-year-old Wayne Halverson of Wishek died Saturday in Island Park.

Halverson went off a trail on his snowmobile and ran into a tree.

Officials say other snowmobilers and emergency responders attempted life-saving measures, but Halverson was pronounced dead.

He is the fourth snowmobiler to die in eastern Idaho this year.

The other three deaths were caused by avalanches.
