OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) – One fisherman’s truck breaking through the ice on Lake Winnebago wasn’t enough to keep him from heading out for today’s catch.
Oshkosh Fire officials say they were called to a spot on the lake less than one mile off Merritt Street, around 5:40 am Thursday.
Crews say the front driver’s side wheel of the truck broke through the ice, leaving the man in water up to his knees.
He passed a medical evaluation and went back on the lake.
Firefighters remind that no ice is ever 100% safe, despite the cold temperatures.
