EXCELSIOR, Minn. - A dump truck fell through the ice Tuesday afternoon on Lake Minnetonka, where it was working on a project to curtail erosion at Big Island.
It was carrying a load of dirt when it fell through the ice near the southeast end of Big Island. The Minnesota DNR said the truck fell into about four feet of water.
The driver made it out of the truck safely.
The dump truck is owned by Sunram Construction Incorporated, based in Corcoran, Minn. The company is responsible for getting the truck out of the water.
An extending arm was being used Tuesday afternoon to lift dirt out of the bed of the truck. Sunram was also bringing in a second machine to help pull out the truck, but had no estimate of how long it will take.
The DNR said the company is not in trouble, and will not be cited for any wrongdoing.
The construction company estimates the truck weighs about 40,000 pounds. The Hennepin County Sheriff's Department doesn't believe the company violated any weight restrictions.
Different town, same problem
Also Tuesday, a crane fell through the ice on a pond at Fred Richards Golf Course in Edina. The course was closed at the time of the incident.
