"Alcohol and speed are believed to be a factor in the crash," the department said in a news release.

Wow... You mean drinking and snowmobiling isn't a good idea?

"Alcohol and speed are believed to be a factor in the crash," the department said in a news release.

From what I've read, Salerno was a passenger. So it's a little misleading to hang that "alcohol and speed" line out there in the report.

"Alcohol use by the driver of Salerno's snowmobile and speed . . . " would have been better.

Randy was a good guy and very well respected in Chicago. It's very tragic and yet another reason I'd never go near a snowmobile.

True on all counts. What a waste.

RIP.
