“You need to get somebody here quick:” 911 calls reveal new side of Lake Geneva ice debacle

"You need to get somebody here quick:" 911 calls reveal new side of Lake Geneva ice debacle



LAKE GENEVA -- It's not something you see every day -- more than a dozen vehicles under water. That is what many saw last weekend on Geneva Lake after the ice people parked on broke. Fifteen vehicles were partially submerged. Now, we're hearing more about it through 911 calls from Saturday, February 6th.


Fifteen cars parked on Geneva Lake ended up falling through the ice and into the water. As the situation got worse, the calls kept coming.


The vehicles were not the only thing out on the quickly-breaking ice.


Nobody was injured in all of this chaos. Five of the vehicles were able to be driven off the ice without incident. But 10 were a total loss. Emergency crews spent the rest of that day clearing the lake -- working late into the night.

No citations were issued in connection with this incident.
