Ever heard of thin ice? Channel 58 hasn't
I don't know what to think about this--only that it is quite funny. You'd think after all these years in Wisconsin, that these camera crews would be smart enough to know not to drive on ice and take another road.
A WDJT (Channel 58) news truck is nearly submerged in water after breaking through the ice on Big Lake Muskego this afternoon.
The truck drove off a boat launch and about 150 yards out onto an iced over channel leading to the lake when the ice suddenly gave way, said Muskego police Sgt. John Mesich.
The truck quickly sank to the bottom of the channel, which is about 4 to 5 feet deep, Mesich said.
The occupants of the truck were able to escape without injury and the truck now sits partially submerged in the channel, Mesich said.
A special company has been called to help pull the truck from the ice, but that could take two days, Mesich said. Mesich said that the crew was shooting "something ice-related."
