SALEM, N.H. (AP) - A teenage boy who drove his all-terrain vehicle through ice into the frigid water of a New Hampshire reservoir has pulled himself to safety.
The state Fish and Game Department says a conservation officer responded Monday afternoon to Arlington Mill Reservoir in Salem for a report of a vehicle that had gone through the ice. It says a 13-year-old boy from Salem was riding an ATV on the reservoir when he failed to see a small opening in the ice.
The boy drove his ATV into open water about 7 or 8 feet deep. He was able to stand on the ATV and climb up onto the ice.
Fish and Game says the boy went to a nearby house to warm up until emergency medical technicians arrived.
The boy suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
