THERE’S AN OLD saying in Wisconsin… ‘Never park your car on a frozen lake.’
Actually, no… No there isn’t.
If there was, then maybe this wouldn’t have happened….
Milwaukee’s Fox 6 reports that more than a dozen cars fell through the ice yesterday afternoon as people parked up ahead of the annual Winterfest event.
Crews worked for hours to save the vehicles.
From the station’s website:
Of the 15 vehicles that broke through the ice, five were able to be driven from the scene. The remaining ten vehicles sustained severe water damage and are believed to be a total loss.
According to Ed Gritzner of the Lake Geneva Police Department:
I think the weight of those vehicles and the sun beating down on them loosened the ice up underneath them and caused them to break apart.
Fortunately no-one was hurt.
