Clear Lake police say 10 year old boy saved friend’s life after falling into icy lake

From Clear Lake Police –

An 11 year old Clear Lake boy fell into the icy water Friday as he and a 10 year old buddy approached the open water near the aerator operating off of downtown Clear Lake. Fortunately his 10 year old friend, who is also from Clear Lake, pulled his buddy out of the icy waters.

Witnesses say they say the two boys walking on the ice a couple hundred feet from the shoreline towards the open water created by the aerator. As they got close to the open water the ice gave way beneath the feet of one of the boys. He threw out his arms, which prevented him from going completely under the ice. His friend then slid close to him on the ice that was intact and helped to pull him out of the water. Some of those who watched what had happened ran to Cookies Etc. and retrieved some blankets. When the boys reached the shore, these folks took the wet lad into the Lakeview Community Room where they helped him remove his wet clothing and wrapped him in blankets to warm him up. When Clear Lake police officers arrived after receiving a call from an employee of the Clear Lake Water Plant, they found him cold but safe and probably more worried about his Mom’s reaction to the harrowing experience than the plunge itself.

Also responding to the incident were members of the Clear Lake Fire and Rescue, Clear Lake Ambulance Service, Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s Office, and the Department of Natural Resources.
