 A truck traveling on Lake Bemidji went partially through the ice around noon today. Like many Bemidji State University students, Ali Ringquist was driving to campus on the lake to park out on the ice. She went off her usual route at Paul Bunyan Park to avoid a puddle on the ice when the front left part of her truck went under. The depth of the ice quickly changed from about a foot thick to just about three inches. I mean people are still driving out on the ice. There's still students parking out on the lake for you know for class but I think I'm staying off. The Beltrami County Sheriff's Department says this type of incident is common during the spring thaw and that people should be extra cautious especially after the rain.
