2 snowmobilers' bodies recovered - UPI.com BUFFALO, Minn., Jan. 15 (UPI) -- The bodies of two snowmobilers were pulled from a Minnesota lake Sunday afternoon, authorities said. The two young men apparently died when their snowmobile broke through the ice on Lake Charlotte in Wright County Saturday night, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported. The bodies of the victims, whose names were not released, were recovered shortly before 2:30 p.m. The county sheriff's office said a 66-year-old Buffalo man also ended up in the water when he went out to investigate on an all-terrain vehicle after seeing a snowmobile enter the lake about 8 p.m., the newspaper said. A neighbor pulled him to safety. Coincidentally, Sunday marked the start of Snowmobile Safety Awareness Week in Minnesota. The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported a boy was rescued Friday on Beebe Lake, near Lake Charlotte, after he fell into a hole left after an ice fishing house was pulled out the day before. The newspaper also noted last week, a truck went through the ice on Lake of the Woods, on the state's northern border with Canada. Minnesota has averaged about six ice-related deaths per year over the pat 35 years.
