BECKER COUNTY, MN – A quiet winter night turned deadly in Becker County, Minnesota, when a snowmobile rider slammed into a fish house on Two Inlets Lake. The crash, which occurred late Saturday evening, claimed the life of a 39-year-old man from Sauk Centre. Authorities reported the incident around 9:30 p.m., marking it as the second snowmobile-related death in the state over the weekend.
Fatal Crash Details
The Becker County Sheriff’s Office stated that the victim, identified as Benjamin James Hellerman, was trailing another snowmobiler when he veered into the structure.
The fish house, a common sight on Minnesota’s frozen lakes, stood empty at the time of the collision.
Emergency responders arrived quickly, but Hellerman could not be saved.
Second Tragedy in Days
This incident follows another fatal snowmobile accident in rural Minnesota that same weekend.
A 50-year-old man from Texas lost his life after his snowmobile hit a snow embankment and a tree along a trail. Authorities noted that alcohol might have played a role in that earlier crash, though no such details have emerged about the Becker County case.
Honoring the Lost
The passing of Benjamin James Hellerman has left the Sauk Centre community in sorrow.
In this time of grief, many turn to the comfort of Scripture, finding peace in John 16:22: “So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice.” Benjamin’s life remains cherished by those who knew him.
Ongoing Investigation
The Becker County Sheriff’s Office continues to examine the circumstances of the crash. Details remain limited as officials piece together what led to the deadly collision on Two Inlets Lake. For now, the incident casts a somber note over Minnesota’s winter recreation season.
