A maintenance truck for the city of Chicago slid off the icy beach platform near Oak street beach and into Lake Michigan.
It happened Friday morning at 1000 N. Lake Shore.
The driver of the truck managed to jump out just before it fell into the freezing water.
He received little to no injuries but was taken to a hospital in the area as a precaution.
Rescue crews didn’t immediately remove the truck however, as the city decided to wait for warmer weather before attempting to enter the freezing water.
