LAPORTE – The thaw overnight has created dangerous conditions on area lakes and ponds.
Crews were called out to Clear Lake to rescue David Rogers from the frozen water. Emergency crews say he was walking across the ice when he fell into about eight feet of water. A witness called 911. The LaPorte City Fire Department was first on the scene and helped get him out.
Officers with the Department of Natural Resources say no ice in the area is safe.
“It’s been a funny year, very dangerous this year and we haven’t had the good ice that we’ve had in years past,” said Conservation Officer Mark Richter.
