"along what they thought was next to Lake Washington"

I can clearly see a ramp in picture 9. Do those usually connect you from shore to shore?

It didn't even look like a road, it went from tree lined and plowed to wide open and white

Too bad there weren't some shanties out there to make it more obvious.

and because a police can pull you over on the lake, insurance agencys in MN, by law, pay the fines, the recovery, and the fix or replacement.

This occured near Mankato. I know where that spot is - popular access point....

That lot / resort routinely is full in the winter, and its not the first time that
a bunch of vehicles have been parked on shoreline ice. I spoke to a buddy who
lives over that way last week, he told me that they were pushing 10" of ice on
the lakes in that area....am sure the people who parked there thought they
had "safe" ice....

i beleive you are incorrect. many compnays will cover the cost of you vehicle (sometimes you have to pay extra for that coverage) but they will not cover the recovery fees and deffinatly not the fines.

does your insurance company pay your speeding tickets? why would they pay these fines?

they will only cover the cost of fixing or repplacing the vehicle. the rest is up to you.

you gotta be pretty stupid to not notice that's a lake!

two_fish_tommy · « **Reply #10 on:** Dec 17, 2008, 05:55 PM »

I'm sure they knew it was a lake but when left alone stupid people do stupid stuff, we get story like this every year. 12 inches will support a vehicle but not 15 parked right next to each other

Call your agent and ask them. You will be surprised by what they tell you.

Haywood is correct. If you carry comprehensive coverage on your auto, your insurance company pays for the recovery and damage to your auto if it goes through the ice.

I'm an insurance agent in MN.

Well if You happen to get here give Me a call{I`ll give You my phone no. in a personal message}and maby if it`s cold enough We can get out on the ICE.
Where are You located?

sled · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 18, 2008, 04:43 PM »

seems i remember in recent years a fleet of snowmobile (factory sponsored) race rigs, tractor-trailers etc... all being sunk on a lake in minnesota too ... that was one cool photo! ... need to try to find it again for a good laugh.

i drive a 3/4 ton pickup that will never be on the ice no matter what the conditions ... that's what 4-wheelers are for!

Wheelers are more fun too! The only time I realy ever drive out, is on Mille Lacs.

Haywood · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 18, 2008, 09:36 PM »

we have a 7x10 trailer that nicely fits a sled and the Otter, side by side. There was plenty of ice on Pulaski today, just not enough for any of my vehicles.

that was on detroit lake, drive by while they were going down, one by one as the ice gave out on the one next to it

I was on Washington last friday I saw the spot where the vehicles went in, it was still taped off. There were tons of full size vehicles everywhere on the lake there was about 10"-11" I still wouldn't drive out till theres a solid 15" but thats just me.

Buck762 · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 24, 2008, 11:09 PM »

It was probably safe, but too many cars in too little area was too much wieght

Deadseafisherman · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 31, 2008, 03:24 PM »

I heard a semi driver onetime tell about pulling into a small WI town and needing to turn around pulled out onto this big empty lot swung his rig around and parked for the night where he was unloading the next morning. Turning his paper work in the morning, the buzz was about a big rig that pulled out onto the lake and turned around, he sheepishly picked up his paper work and NEVER said a thing
