Grand Junction man injured in Boone County snowmobile accident

February 15, 2016 By Radio Iowa Contributor

Police car lightsA 35-year-old Grand Junction man was seriously injured Sunday afternoon while snowmobiling along Highway 30 near Boone.

Damion Louk was third in line of five snowmobiles traveling eastbound in the median of the highway when the left front ski caught deep snow near a culvert snapping the connections and sending him and the snowmobile airborne.

Authorities say Louk was traveling at an estimated speed of 60 miles-per-hour and was thrown approximately 150 feet before landing near the shoulder of the highway. It is believed that his helmet may have not been fastened as it came off during the incident and landed separately.

Louk was transported to the Boone County Hospital and later transferred by helicopter to Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines.
