At approximately 11:00am Thursday morning, Tarrytown Police and Fire Departments were assisted by the Irvington Fire Department Dive Team and the Greenburgh Police with a water rescue at the Tarrytown Lakes.
A Department of Tarrytown Parks and Recreation employee was clearing snow off of the ice for the anticipated ice skating on the lake this weekend when the tractor-plow he was operating fell through the ice. The tractor and the operator were submerged in the frigid water.
The tractor fell through the ice approximately 250 feet from the shore. The depth of the water where the employee was submerged is unknown. The operator was able to self-rescue and walked to shore. He was in the water approximately 10 minutes. The unidentified worker was taken to the hospital and treated for hypothermia. Responders stabilized the vehicle in the water and ice and helped direct the recovery of the tractor from the water without further incident. Stiloski’s heavy duty tow truck/wrecker assisted.
