thin ice

A Waite Park man is ok after his truck broke through the ice on Pearl Lake Friday. The Stearns County Sheriff's Department says 42-year-old Bryan Spychala was driving his one-ton pick-up on a previously plowed road when the front of the truck broke through the ice.

After responding to three incidents on Lake Minnetonka, Hennepin County is warning people about thin ice. The Hennepin County sheriff's office reports that two snowmobiles and a backhoe either drove into open water or fell through thin ice on the big lake over the weekend. No one was hurt.
