Tadych says one vehicle broke through the ice near the shore off Kinker Road,  and another vehicle became partially submerged near Wendt’s On the Lake tavern.  A week earlier a Fond du Lac man escaped injury when his pickup truck broke through the ice about a half mile north of Frazier Point at Lakeside Park.
