Truck thru the ice on Lake vermillion

Redneck. I see where you posted a truck thru the ice on a different site. I read the guy was out of the truck checking the ice when it went thru. Everybody OK?

Thanks for the info CHM. I can't believe someone would drive a truck out on the ice to check the thickness ????

Yeah everyone made it out safely. Happened at a transition line between freeze ups. Went from 10" to 4". *SPLOOSH*

I really don't understand why people push it. Its still way early, leave the trucks and wheelers off the ice until everything is completely locked up and thick enough...

Another guy went in on his snowmobile up near the Brainerd/Baxter area, left his life there. Leave the machines off the ice people, give it a couple weeks.
