VIDEO: ATV falls through ice at B.C. lagoon

Witnesses say rider was doing doughnuts before mishap

An ATV rider found out the hard way that the ice on Brydon Lagoon in Langley City wasn’t thick enough on Tuesday morning.

Witness Kirby Hanawalt saw the driver go in while making circles on the frozen surface around 9 a.m.

”I just said, there’s a dumb person,” Hanawalt commented.

Hanawalt said the driver was getting too close to the thin ice near the aeration pumps that help circulate oxygen in the man-made pond.
