1-2-14 ice fatality-la crosse

LA CROSSE, Wis. (AP) — Emergency workers in La Crosse have recovered a body from a car that broke through the ice on a creek.  The driver was the only person in the car.  A bus driver called dispatchers Wednesday about 1:30 a.m. when he noticed tire tracks leaving the street and heading over a bank toward Swift Creek.  The vehicle plunged down a 40-foot embankment but the ice didn't immediately break. The vehicle headed a little south on the ice before breaking through into the water.  Rescue divers found the vehicle submerged in 6 to 8 feet of water.  An autopsy is scheduled for Thursday in Madison.
