Three-year-old in Critical Condition After Ice Accident in Vermont

A three-year-old child remains hospitalized in critical condition following a family's vehicle falling through the ice on Lake Memphremagog, Vermont.

A 3-year-old child and three others fell through ice on Lake Memphremagog in northern Vermont over the weekend, resulting in hospitalization.
The child, now in critical condition, was part of a family of four traveling on a side-by-side recreational vehicle when the accident occurred.
Rescue efforts included chest compressions performed by a bystander and police pulling the sled to shore, where the child received immediate aid.
The other three victims, suffering from exhaustion and hypothermia, were also hospitalized but have since been released.
The incident highlights concerns over thinner ice on lakes due to a warming climate and an El Nino weather pattern causing milder winters.
