While snowmobiling in Millinocket, Greer Hermann hit a patch of ice, sending his sled into a turbulent roll, subsequently hitting a tree and violently ejecting him.
A Baxter State Park ranger who just happened to be riding by called for assistance and rendered medical aid.
It took searchers and emergency medical responders two hours to remove Herman from the woods before he was Life-Flighted to a Bangor hospital.
Hermann, 22, a plumber and construction worker, remains hospitalized at Mass General in Boston with multiple critical injuries, his family said.
They have started a GoFundMe campaign to help pay for his medical and convalescent bills coming from the recent accident.
