Pick-up falls through ice; no injuries reported

Three people were able to escape a truck that fell through the ice with no injuries.

On Jan. 14 around 6 p.m., the Wood Buffalo RCMP responded to a call that the front end of a truck driving along the Clearwater River had fell through the ice near the Snye Point Boat Launch.

The pick-up truck was able to be removed from the river safely.

Mounties are asking you to avoid driving on the rivers, even with the extremely cold temperatures.

Water currents don’t necessarily allow the water to freeze and some areas may have thinner ice.
