Sentence in fatal snowmobile crash

Joseph Weiher.

UNDATED (WSAU) A Park Falls man will spend one-month in jail and will serve 400-hours of community service after a fatal snowmobile accident from last New Years Eve.

27-year-old Joseph Weiher had vehicular homicide charges reduced to a misdemeanor as part of a plea bargain. He ran over his friend Samuel Klein, who'd fallen off a snowmobile in Price County. The sheriffs department says speed and alcohol were factors.

A DNR investigation said Klein feel off his snowmobile in front of Weiher's sled.

Weiher will get credit for jail-time served, and will have work-release privileges.
