Officers say Robert Dunnigan Junior was eastbound on Alexis when he crossed the center line, striking a private snow plow truck. Dunnigan was pronounced dead at Toledo Hospital.
David Digby and his son are avid snowmobilers. Digby was out riding in the elements overnight as well. He says he saw the victim riding, but had no idea what happened to him until hours later.
"It was real weird. I got a phone call today; said man that was Robby. So it was weird, then he goes out today, so you gotta be tough on him, you know look what could happen," explains David Digby.
News of his death shocked his neighbors, "I got a 20-year old and I couldn't imagine losing her. So, I feel sorry for them. They're nice people."
An autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow. Meanwhile, the victim's sister tells 13abc that their family is already busy with funeral arrangements.
