ROGERS MAN DIES AFTER TRUCK GOES THROUGH THE ICE

36-year Bradley Erickson died Sunday morning after his pickup truck went through the ice on Leech Lake. Erickson apparently had tried to drive across the ice around 1am then swam across a channel and tried to walk to his camp site. A DNR Conservation Agent found his pickup and alerted Cass County Deputies who found him 8:30am, unresponsive and suffering from exposure. He was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in Park Rapids but died later in the morning. An autopsy has been scheduled.
