A Four Wheeler went through the ice yesterday afternoon on Rice Lake in Rice Lake Wisconsin.
The recent warm temps for the region have caused the ice to start melting by the mouth of the Red Cedar River that feeds Rice Lake. With the sudden cold snap over the last few days, the area had refrozen. The person driving the four wheeler was able to get out safely, however he was in the water for about ten minutes. This video package shows the four wheeler in the ice, along with the recovery of it.
