Car, snowmobile accidents fatal

From the Jefferson County Daily Union

...Meanwhile, the body of a 34-year-old Watertown man was found early Sunday after the snowmobile he was riding went into open water on the Rock River near Watertown.

...Watertown Fire Department and EMS crews responded to the scene, along with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department Dive Team. Klein's body was recovered at 5:30 a.m.

Walz cautioned snowmobilers from traveling the rivers and lakes at this stage of the season.

"It's just treacherous right now to be on the rivers," he said, citing the warm weather that occurred only a week ago.

Walz also recommended that snowmobilers travel with a friend.
