A snowmobile accident has claimed a young life of a Fanshawe student.

Michael Lutowicz, 21, a fourth-year Business student, was killed Friday, February 6 at approximately 9:20 pm while riding his snowmobile.

According to Strathroy-Caradoc police, the snowmobile he was driving on the shoulder of Adelaide Road near Richard Crescent crossed the centerline and struck an oncoming vehicle.

The car went out of control when it proceeded to hit another vehicle.

Lutowicz was pronounced dead at the scene while the drivers of both vehicles sustained minor injuries.

The popular online networking website Facebook has been dedicated in Lutowicz's memory.

“An amazing person who loved every second of life. I don't think I remember a time where you weren't smiling. I am a better person for just have knowing someone like you,” wrote Maggie Timmers, a friend of Lutowicz, on the online memorial.
