Officials pull vehicle and trailer from lake

6-16-10 —     At approximately 7 p.m. on Sunday, June 6, it was reported that a 

vehicle had gone into the lake at the New Fall Creek boat ramp.

    Units from the Kentucky Dept. of Fish and Wildlife and the Wayne 

County Sheriff's Office responded and discovered that the vehicle and  

the boat trailer that was attached to it were totally submerged in  

the water but still visible from the ramp.

    The Wayne County Rescue Squad was called and a diver was sent down 

to attach a cable to the vehicle to pull it back up onto the ramp.

    The rescue squad, a local wrecker, and Kentucky Dept. of Fish and 

Wildlife working in conjunction were able to extricate the vehicle  

and bring it to the top of the ramp.

    The driver stated he was attempting to load a pontoon onto his 

trailer when the vehicle rolled backward into the lake. No one was  

injured in the accident.
