Oregon man dead after snowmobiling accident in Northern Klamath County

On Saturday, March 16, at 12:30 PM, a snowmobile crash occurred calming the life of a 21-year-old man from Philomath, Oregon (residing in Corvallis, Ore.).

The crash was in a location just south of Crescent, Oregon.

Jacob Charles McGarry, 21, was pronounced deceased by emergency responders at the scene.

McGarry was in control of a snowmobile with one rider and traveling adjacent to the railroad tracks near Schoonover 1 and Riverview Road.

McGarry came in contact with a power pole guidewire causing him to be removed from the snow machine. The crash caused a fatal injury to McGarry, but the rider was unharmed.

First responders from the Sheriff’s Office, US Forest Service Law Enforcement, Crescent Fire, and Central Oregon Cascades Fire had to use ATVs and snow machines to access the crash site. An Airlink helicopter crew were also in route to transport any injured parties, but no transports were needed.

The Klamath County Sheriff’s Office extends its sympathies and condolences to McGarry’s family and loved ones.
