Chase ends in lake rescue
Associated Press APRIL 21, 2016 — 6:25AM
MAPLEWOOD, Minn. — Law enforcement officers rescued a driver from a Wisconsin
lake after the woman fled from police who tried pulling her over in Minnesota.
Authorities say officers attempted to stop the woman in the Twin Cities suburb of
Maplewood about 3 a.m. Thursday on a traffic violation. The driver sped away with
officers in pursuit.
Officials say the woman drove about 15 miles east, across the state border and into Lake
Mallalieu (MAL' -ah -loo) in St. Croix County, Wisconsin.
KSTP-TV (http://bit.ly/lTkOScl ) reports three officers from Minnesota jumped into the
lake, broke windows on her van and pulled her out before the vehicle became
completely submerged.
The woman was unconscious and was taken to a hospital. There's no immediate word
on her condition.
