Ice Safety

It was quite the scare for a pair of Ignace residents.

OPP received a report last Saturday around 2:45 in the morning of a man needing assistance.

The 17-year-old was driving a snow machine on Agimac Lake when it got stuck in the slush.

The man walked to a local residence and reported that his sister was still on the lake in freezing temperatures.

Officers used two locally owned snow machines to conduct a search and she was found a short time later wandering on the ice.

The 22-year-old was treated for non-life threatening injuries.
