The drivers of 15
vehicles parked on ice at Geneva Lake in the Wisconsin for a
so-called Winterfest celebration on Saturday, but their
festivities were interrupted when the ice broke, police said.
Five of the vehicles that fell into the water were salvaged, as
their owners drove out of the chilly lake, but the remaining 10
cars and trucks were totaled, police for the town of Lake Geneva
said in a statement.
No one was injured in the incident, about 60 miles (100 km)
northwest of Chicago, police said.
"People park on the lake all the time from what I understand,"
Laurie Oberhelman, one of the car owners, told Milwaukee
television station WDJT.
"It was a bad choice."
