SPRING GROVE - A Brodhead woman was arrested Saturday after a snowmobile she was riding crashed, injuring a 9-year-old boy, according to a report from the Green County Sheriff's Department.

At about 4:43 p.m., deputies responded to a report that a snowmobile had collided with a truck in the 1500 block of Wisconsin 11 in the Town of Spring Grove.

According to the statement from the sheriff's department, Schauer was travelling across a field when she reported the snowmobile would not stop. The snowmobile then collided with a parked truck, spun around and struck a 9-year-old boy.
