A vehicle goes through the ice in Shawano County.
According to a news release, it happened just before 7 tonight. Authorities says Katie Atkinson, 24, of Round Lake, Illinois was attempting to drive off Lake Shawano when she drove into open water. Atkinson, Matthew Weso, 29, and a 10 year old passenger were able to get out of the car and onto the roof as it settled into 4 or 5 feet of water.
They were stranded for about 20 minutes before they were rescued. They weren't injured, but authorities say they were wet and extremely cold. They were transported to a Shawano hospital to be checked over.
