A 10-foot U-Haul truck went through the ice on Echo Lake on Mount Desert Island early Saturday, after being driven more than 450 yards across the lake. The driver, a 75-year-old man, was reportedly confused and not sure where he was driving. Firefighters carried him to shore before taking him to MDI Hospital. Later in the morning, the truck broke through the ice and became submerged. A marine salvage company is working to remove the truck from the lake.
