Default WMUR Sleds through Ice - 1 death so far

Moultonborough, N.H. —
One person is dead after falling through the ice on Lake Winnipesaukee, and rescuers are searching for more people in the frigid water.

Both Alton and Moultonborough saw people fall through the ice Saturday afternoon. Saturday evening, dive teams were still searching for at least one person in Alton, hurrying to find clues before darkness set in. Airboats were also deployed to help in the search.

Officials confirmed that one person rescued in Moultonborough did not survive. They have not released the condition of a second person rescued there. Officials say the Moultonborough victims were riding snowmobiles that went through the ice.

Thousands of people are on Lake Winnipesaukee this weekend because of an annual ice fishing derby. Fish and Game officials say they've long been concerned about a situation just like this.

"Lake Winnipesaukee can be extremely unpredictable as far as ice depths," says Col Kevin Jordan of New Hampshire Fish and Game. "We've always had this real concern that we'd have a day like today, and it's just horrible.
