AKERS Carl R "Rusty"
Galeton man's body found morning after snowmobile crash
Star-Gazette
GALETON -- A Galeton man died late Thursday night when the snowmobile
he was riding went off a state forest road and struck several trees.
Potter County Deputy Coroner Ken Wingo pronounced Carl R. "Rusty" Akers,
27, of School Street, dead at the scene of the crash, along Lyman Run Road,
11 miles west of Galeton, at 9:55 Friday morning. Wingo said Akers
was riding his Kawasaki Nitro 1000 snowmobile on Lyman Run Road sometime
before midnight on Thursday and became separated from others with whom
he was riding. His snowmobile left the road, traveled 65 feet and struck
several trees, Wingo said. Akers, who was wearing a safety helmet and full
protective gear, died instantly, Wingo said. He listed the cause of death
as head and neck injuries. Akers' companions searched for him, but
could not find him. A state Department of Conservation and Natural
Resources laborer grooming the road for riders discovered the accident
scene and body at 7:30 a.m. Friday. Forest rangers from the department
investigated the crash. State police, Sweden Township police and members
of the Gale Hose Ambulance Company assisted DCNR rangers and Wingo at the
scene. Akers was a mechanic at Larry's Sport Center near Galeton.
The crash occurred about five miles west-northwest of Lyman Run State Park.
