There’s a reason law enforcement preaches safety on the water, especially during Minnesota summers. It’s because accidents can happen on a calm lake, just as they can on a busy highway.
And had it not been for a trio of youngsters stepping into action on July 1, a bad accident could’ve had a tragic ending.
It was on that day that two jet skis collided on Lake Shetek near Schreier’s Campground. Before emergency responders arrived on the scene, help was already onsite in the form of Logan Mihin, Dawson Schreier and Weston Kruger.
