Trucks fall through Lake Pepin Ice

It's a reminder that this winter's ice isn't as strong as in years past.

The sheriff in Goodhue County, says six trucks fell through the ice on their side of Lake Pepin about 40 to 60 feet offshore, over the weekend.

The trucks were parked on the ice Saturday aound 11 am because there weren't any parking spots on the beach. No one was hurt, and deputies say they towed all six trucks out of the water.

This winter has been warmer than last, and DNR managers say fishermen need to be aware of the ice when they head out.
