Teens Rescued From Lake Waconia After 'Slush Patch' Snags Vehicle

CHASKA, Minn. (WCCO) -- Two teenagers were rescued from Lake Waconia last week after the vehicle they were in got "stuck in a slush patch."

The Carver County Sheriff's Office says first responders were called to the lake near the eastern shore of Coney Island Friday at about 9:37 p.m. on a report of a vehicle sinking into the lake.

The Waconia Fire Department used an UTV to get the two 18-year-old women off the lake, but their vehicle -- which actually hadn't sunk through the frozen lake -- wasn't removed by deputies or firefighters.

The owner is responsible for retrieving it, the sheriff's office said.
