A fisherman has been flown to a hospital after falling through the ice of a south-central Minnesota lake.
The Free Press of Mankato reports the man fell through the ice on Lake Washington Thursday. A neighbor heard a call for help and called 911.
Emergency crews arrived but couldn't see the man. But an all-terrain vehicle was parked near a hole in the ice several dozen yards from shore.
A member of the Madison Lake Dive Team jumped in the water and pulled the man to the ice. His condition has not been released.
