Forty-year-old Mark Sperber was convicted last November in the 20-year-old man’s death. Sperber had told investigators he thought he had hit a trash can, which is why he did not stop. Witnesses at the scene reportedly said he initially stopped, but quickly continued on his way. Officials said Sperber had consumed three strong drinks in the hour prior to the crash.

The victim had been riding down the street because the sidewalks were snow-covered at the time of the crash.

According to a recent article published on jsonline.com, alcohol is involved in about 75 percent of snowmobile fatalities yearly in Wisconsin. A public hearing was held Tuesday discussing an Assembly bill, which would toughen Wisconsin’s current laws regarding drunken operation of snowmobiles, ATVs and boats.

Currently, if someone is found guilty of operating a snowmobile while under the influence, they face a $600 fine. If found guilty of operating an ATV or boat under intoxication, they face lesser fines. The citations for different offenses are not linked so if a person is cited for operating a snowmobile under the influence as a first offense, that same person could simultaneously face first offenses for operating an ATV or a boat, instead of face a 2nd or 3rd offense.

If laws are amended as proposed, anyone operating a snowmobile, ATV or boat while under the influence of drugs or alcohol would be suspended for 12 to 16 months on the first citation. A second offense within five years of operating any recreational vehicle while intoxicated would face a fine of up to $1,100, jail time of up to one year and a suspension of any recreational vehicle licenses for six to 12 months.

The proposed changes would also link all types of recreation vehicles together, so a violation on one type of vehicle would count against all types.
