UPDATE: A man from Drums contacted state police on Tuesday after hearing reports of the search at a reservoir in Lausanne Township, Carbon County.

The man said that he was walking his dogs on Monday and fell through the ice while attempting to cross the ice on the reservoir. The man said he managed to pull himself out of the icy water and make it to shore safely. He walked out of the woods to his vehicle and drove home.

According to fire officials, crews were called to the frozen reservoir Monday after a quad rider found cracks and a hole in the ice along with a pair of gloves and snowshoes.

The findings sparked an investigation to see if someone had fallen through the ice in the area near Weatherly.
