Two people walked away uninjured after their truck fell through the ice on Kingston Millpond. Emergency crews were called around 7:30 am for two people standing on the roof of a mostly submerged truck. The driver and passenger were able to get to shore before crews arrived. One of the men was wet from being the water but neither were injured.

Investigators say the truck was on a recently frozen part of the Millpond where a river channel resides. Green Lake County Sheriff Mark Podoll warns, "While ice is never completely safe, this winter has been a challenge with a mixture of inconsistent temperatures and periodic bouts of rain making ice conditions difficult at best."
