Bartlett's Towing is currently trying to extract a truck from Links Beach on the southshore of Lake Nipissing.

Larry Bartlett told The Nugget that a diesel truck with a plow fell victim to a pressure crack Saturday about 1.3 kilometres from land.

He said it should take about a week to recover the truck.

"There's a minimum of 10 inches of ice, but we need at least 20 to 25 inches," Bartlett said.

"Right now we're working at building up the ice."

Anyone ever see the episode of dirty jobs where they were recovering a truck through the ice up in Alaska? Fairly involved operation.

I'm not sure I would ever trust ice enough to take a full size vehicle on it. Just my opinion.

I'm pretty sure insurance doesn't cover that.

Is the owner going to be charged with any environmental things?

Was there attrition, or did the driver get out?

I gotta call my insurance company. I'm pretty sure they said they wouldn't cover my sled going through. I will ask if my truck is covered too.
