The two teens were crossing a partially frozen lake near Ellison Lakes Boulevard in Kennesaw when they plunged through the ice Wednesday, Dec. 28, WXIA reported, citing Cobb County Fire and Emergency Services. A police officer rescued one of the teens but struggled to get to the other, who was farther out on the lake.
The surviving teen was reported in stable condition as of Thursday, but it’s unclear if he’s still hospitalized, Bennett said. A resident who lives nearby said he noticed a group of kids playing near the frozen pond around 5 p.m. Wednesday, according to WAGA.
One of the teens was a few feet from the bank and the other was about 10 feet onto the ice. “It looked pretty sturdy at first, so I didn’t think much of it,” resident Alex Pollard told the station.
Minutes later, he said he heard screams and spotted two of the teens “trapped in the ice” and clinging to one another.
A police officer pulled the first teen from the lake and fire rescue crews used a raft to search for the second teen, who was in the frigid water for at least 20 minutes, WSB-TV and WXIA reported. Temperatures in the area dipped to 23 degrees with a high of 57 that day, according to Accuweather.
