<h2 style="margin-top: 0pt;">Two women survive truck plunging through Lake Nipissing</h2>
Police warn the public to use extreme caution
<h4 class="grey">Posted By Jennifer Hamilton-McCharles</h4> <h5 class="grey">Updated 17 hours ago</h5> Melanie Rowley had to climb out a vehicle window and crawl on her belly to safety after the truck she was a passenger in plunged into Lake Nipissing Saturday at 2:57 p.m.
The Calgary resident and the driver, a North Bay woman, were shaken but there were no injuries.
Rowley was in North Bay visiting family and decided to stay an extra day to go ice fishing with her brother and some friends.
The accident happened almost one-kilometre from shore, across from the sewage treatment plant.
By 5 p.m., the truck was still submerged, however Bartlett’s Towing was on scene.
North Bay Police Service and Ontario Provincial Police are advising of open water in the area and urging the public to use extreme caution when traveling in that area and other waterways. Vehicles should not be driven areas where ice is questionable.
