ERRIEN CENTER, Mich. (AP) — Two men have been rescued from a lake in southwestern Michigan after one fell through thin ice while fishing.

Deputies responded to O’Brien Lake in Berrien Center around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, the Berrien County sheriff’s office said.

Deputies found Ryan Huff, 59, on top of the ice holding up Donald Skibbe, 76, with a rope.

Huff and Skibbe live in Berrien Township.

Deputy Matthew Grimm went onto the ice and helped Huff keep Skibbe above water until fire officials arrived with rescue equipment and brought them to shore.

O’Brien Lake is about 90 miles southwest of Grand Rapids.
