SENECA, Wis. (AP) -- A Prairie du Chien man is dead after he was thrown from his snowmobile and then struck by a pickup.

Authorities say 41-year-old Robert Boland was driving the snowmobile Saturday just after 6 p.m. in the town of Seneca when he lost control, was thrown from the machine and landed in the middle of Highway 27. He was struck by a Ford Ranger driven by an 18-year-old Stoddard man.

Boland was taken to Vernon Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The accident remains under investigation.
