Last night Minnesota unleashed a Spring storm that brought rain, sleet and snow to Eden Prairie. One resident lost control of his vehicle on a slick road and landed in a small pond. Luckily for the driver he was able to escape with no damage except for getting in a very cold swim.
The mini-van wasn’t so lucky, having eventually sunk up to it’s roof line. Firefighters assisted Matt’s auto with the pull out process by getting into survival suits and connecting the tow cables to the partially submerged van. All in all, it was good practice for the Fire Department’s water rescue operations, nobody got hurt and insurance will hopefully take care of a new van for the driver.
