TWIN LAKES, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Rescue crews are searching for a man that went into the water in Twin Lakes.
It happened Thursday afternoon Jan. 30, on Lake Elizabeth.
The Twin Lakes Police Department says a 70-year-old man remains unaccounted for after an ATV broke through the water. Police say the ATV driver was on the ice and saw a puddle, but thought it was frozen enough to drive over. It was open water and the ATV sank.
The search was called off for the night at 8 p.m. and will resume Friday morning.
Police say two other individuals who were also on the ATV made it out of the water safely. They were evaluated by rescue crews and declined transport to the hospital.
Police are asking the public to avoid the area as crews continue their efforts.
