BARK RIVER -- There is a winner in the contest that involved a truck falling through ice in Delta County.

The pickup truck, placed on Little Bay de Noc for the Icebreaker Truck contest last month, fell through the ice on Saturday at 5:05 p.m.

This annual Bark River Lions Off-Road Icebreaker Truck Contest rewards people that guess the month, day, hour, and minute that the truck will plunge through the ice.

There were two winners this year.  Brian Baum and Maria Maniaci of Delta County each won $625 and tickets to the off-road races in Bark River.

A drawing will be held to see which one will get the tires from Mr. Tire.  Twelve-hundred-fifty tickets were sold, which is more than ten times last year's total.  Proceeds will benefit a variety of local charities.

Here is video of the truck falling through the ice.
