- Title Coast Guard Rescue Snowmobile Rider Dramatically Stranded On Ice
- Summary The US Coast Guard and first responders helped rescue a man who had found himself and his snowmobile stranded on a block of ice. The timelapse footage that shows the mighty effort of the respondents was taken by the U.S. Coast Guard Great Lakes, on March 15th, near Mackinac Island, Michigan, United States. A 55-year-old male determined to be lost was located by the coast guard; aerial rescue attempts were unsuccessful due to weather conditions. They were able to locate the man and his snowmobile, pulling them both aboard. Once onboard, the individual was administered medical care, making his condition stable. Lt William Erekson, assistant operations officer, praised his team regarding their efforts in the mission: “Today’s response was a phenomenal team effort in saving a person in distress. “This case is a powerful reminder that when lives are on the line, the Coast Guard stands ready to respond.”
