Identities of snowmobile crash victims released

ROCK RIVER TOWNSHIP, MI--   Police have released the names of the snowmobilers killed in an Alger County crash.

Sheriff’s officials say the victims were Douglas Show, 21, of Pennsylvania and John Shadian, 54, of Wisconsin.

Both were snowmobiling on Trail #8 in Rock River Township Monday night when they were involved in a head-on collision. Show and Shadian were ejected from their machines.

The two men were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. Excessive speed is believed to be a factor.

The Alger County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate the accident.
