A large truck with a snowplow on its front fell through the ice on Sunday afternoon while plowing a road along the backside of Joliffe Island.
When EDGE arrived on the scene around 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, the truck, which appears to belong to Aurora Telecom Services Ltd., was half-submerged, with its front wheels still on the ice, but the bed of the truck largely filled with icy water. The site was cordoned off with temporary fencing.
