More People Go Through The Ice In North Dakota and Minnesota – KVRR Local News
FARGO, N.D. (KVRR/KFGO) — Two anglers are credited with rescuing a Jamestown man after his snowmobile plunged through thin ice on Jamestown Reservoir.
Authorities say it happened around noon Monday when Cody Deese’s snowmobile broke through the ice.
Skylar Schmeichel and Shane Weiss, who were fishing nearby, saw Deese struggling in the icy water, called 911, and started a rescue, using their jackets as an improvised rope.
They were able to pull the man to safety on thicker ice.
Deese was taken to the hospital but declined medical assistance.
Two people go through the ice on Pelican Lake south of Ashby, Minnesota, on an ATV.
Grant County Sheriff’s Office says it happened Tuesday around 5 p.m.
They say the two people made it back to shore safely near Indian Mounds Resort.
The ATV is in about 20 feet of water.
They want to remind everyone that the ice conditions in that area are still very inconsistent and not safe.
As recently as Sunday, many lakes in the county still had open water.
