Man Rescued After Plunging Through Ice in Central Nebraska

Nebraska_game_and_parksLOUP CITY, Neb. (AP) — An ice fisherman has been pulled from Sherman Reservoir in central Nebraska after he and his all-terrain vehicle plunged through the ice.

The accident happened about 7:20 a.m. Sunday. Fifty-nine-year-old Ron Devitt, of Heartwell, says other people came to his rescue, and emergency responders helped warm him back up.

Nebraska Game and Parks officials say Sunday’s accident was the third time in a week that someone had gone into the bone-chilling reservoir water.
