A 15-year-old snowmobiler suffered non-life-threatening injuries in a crash on February 23 near Westby, according to the Vernon County Sheriff's Office.

Weiker was transported to the Vernon Memorial Healthcare in Viroqua and was treated and released. The sheriff's office says Weiker was wearing a helmet.
