A Sartell man fell through the ice on Cedar Island Lake March 5.
Around 4 p.m., Chain of Lakes Fire and Rescue, the Stearns County Sheriff’s Office and Gold Cross Ambulance responded to the north side of Cedar Island Lake, southwest of Cold Spring, where an all-terrain vehicle fell through the ice.
The driver and owner of the vehicle, Brian James Will, 43, of Sartell, was pulling two other adults and four children in a trailer when he came to a large crack in the ice and was unable to stop before the ATV went into the water. Everyone was able to get out of the water and onto the island safely where they were helped to shore by Chain of Lakes Fire and Rescue. No one was injured in the incident.
The Stearns County Sheriff’s Office warns residents and visitors to be extremely careful when venturing out onto any ice with the recent warm weather.
