FOX LAKE — Two men were treated for abrasions and exposure after a pickup truck went through the ice on Fox Lake in Dodge County early Saturday morning, Jan. 26.
It happened around 6:45 a.m.
According to Dodge County sheriff’s officials, the driver, a 45-year-old man from Cambria and his passenger, a 44-year-old man from Randolph, were inside a Dodge Ram 2500, traveling northwest from the boat launch at The Boathouse Pub & Eatery on Chief Kuno Trail. Approximately 300 to 400 feet east of Maple Point on Fox Lake, the truck broke through the ice.
The driver and passenger were able to get themselves out of the truck through the rear window, before it became fully submerged in 16 to 18 feet of water.
They walked back to The Boathouse Pub & Eatery, where they were met by EMS officials for treatment of abrasions to their hands and exposure to the sub-zero temperatures.
Dodge County sheriff’s officials asked that everyone please verify ice conditions before driving on lakes. They suggested people contact Fish Tales Bait Shop in Fox Lake, at 920-520-0015, noting they are “more than happy” to pass along details on ice conditions on Fox Lake. Sheriff’s officials noted portions of Fox Lake aren’t safe for travel.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is investigating this incident.
