Teen's accident raises Wisconsin's snowmobiling death toll to 20 this winter

A Chicago teenager who died Monday when his snowmobile crashed head-on into a truck in northern Wisconsin was a sophomore at Notre Dame College Preparatory High School for Young Men in Niles.

Joseph T. Ochocki, 16, was traveling on the rural road when he crossed the center line and collided with a 1-ton truck and plow, authorities said. Ochocki was making a turn and may not have seen the truck coming because of a 5-foot-high snowbank, said Lt. Mark Collins of the Vilas County sheriff’s department.
