Crow Wing County Sheriff Todd Dahl reports that at 7:10 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 29, a vehicle broke through the ice on Pelican Lake southwest of Gooseberry Island.

The vehicle had three individuals in it, who were able to escape without injury before the vehicle sank in about 18 feet of water.

Dahl reminds people that no ice is ever safe and with the recent warm weather and lack of snow in the area, ice conditions can change daily.

People should use caution when driving on lakes, even when there are well established roads on the ice.
