Mom, Two Kids Pulled From Icy Lake In Athol

ATHOL (WBZ) ― A mother and her two daughters were pulled from the ice in Athol on Wednesday.

The three fell into the water at Lake Ellis around 9:15 a.m. while ice fishing and were found 200 feet from shore.

Lee Chauvette, a former Athol firefighter who lives on the lake, said he had just returned home to pick up something when he saw Sileng Lheureux and the two children go into the water.

Lheureux and her two children were taken to Athol Memorial Hospital, where they are being treated for injuries that do not appear to be serious.
