A Leamington man is safe after falling through ice in Lake Erie, off Point Pelee drive.

Around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, emergency crews responded to the 900 block after two people stopped to take a picture of the sunset and heard someone calling for help.

They contacted 911 advising that someone had fallen through the ice approximately 30 feet from shore and was struggling in the water.

The OPP, Leamington Fire Services and Essex Windsor Emergency Medical Service (EMS) all attended the scene.

Police say the 58-year-old man was rescued and transported to an area hospital as a precaution for the treatment of hyperthermia.
