Pickup went through the ice at Bay of Quinte

[DT10Sam]

Hi Everyone,

 

The fire department is setting out a barricade around the hole where the truck went through the ice this morning at Minnie Blakely Shoal. The area is just west of the red buoy and should be avoided. The truck did go through and it will be a recovery operation at a later date. The anglers were locals and I will not state who they were just that we are pleased that they are safe. The last couple of days the weather has been warm and the underwater currents in that area has made ice unsafe for vehicles.

 

If you are heading out there be safe and watch for the barricade so that no one else goes through.

 

Best regards,

Sam

Thanks for the info Sam. When we were out on Sunday, in a foot of slush, a truck was out there trying to get moving, in a foot of slush. Sometimes I wonder where common sense has gone. If anyone sees it, let me know

 

Glad everyone is okay.

That one is going to cost a few $$ getting out, Glad everyone is safe
