Stowe Mountain Resort Worker Dies In Zipline Mishap

STOWE, Vt. (AP) — A 53-year-old Vermont man is dead after colliding with an anchoring platform on a zipline at the Stowe Mountain Resort, police said.

The victim, Scott Lewis, of Stowe, collided with the platform that was holding the line. Lewis could not be revived, police said. He was working at the resort when the incident occurred, police said.
