On Wednesday January 17th 2024, just before 1:00pm the Monroe County 911 Communications Center received a 911 call from a 3 rd party advising that her sister was involved in a crash with a snowmobile at an address on Hwy 71, just west of the Village of Kendall. After more information gathering, emergency responders were able to locate the crash which occurred where the snowmobile trail crosses a private driveway.
Deputies investigating the crash found that Charlie Neitzel of New Lisbon had been traveling the trail on his 2021 Skidoo when he failed to yield at the driveway. Lori Bandle of Kendall was driving up the driveway
when Neitzel struck the front of Bandle’s vehicle, causing him to be ejected from the snowmobile. Neitzel suffered minor injuries from the crash that did not require medical attention. The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Monroe County 911 Communications Center, Kendall Fire Department, and Wilton Ambulance.
