A 23-year-old New Hampshire woman died Thursday in a snowmobile crash on ITS Trail 89 in Jackman.

Michelle Carolina Cantos lost control of the Polaris snowmobile she was operating and was pronounced dead at the scene at about 11:45 a.m., according to Maine Game Warden Lieutenant Kris Barboza.

Cantos was riding fourth in a group of five family and friends traveling north on the trail when the crash occurred.

Inexperience appears to be a factor in the crash, Barboza said.

The Maine Warden Service is investigating the incident.
