The US Coast Guard says the group had been riding ATVs off Catawba State Park when a crack in the ice cut them off from the island
18 people have been rescued from a chunk of floating ice in Lake Erie near Sandusky, Ohio.
The U-S Coast Guard says the group had been riding A-T-V's off Catawba State Park when a crack in the ice cut them off from the island.
They were spotted by a Coast Guard helicopter.
11 of the stranded riders were rescued by the Coast Guard, while the remaining seven were taken to safety by a Good Samaritan with an air-boat.
Rescue efforts began about 1 p.m. after an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter from Air Station Detroit noticed approximately 20 people on an ice floe, with several ATVs looking for a route back to land.
Emergency medical services were standing by, but no one required medical attention.
