A rescue operation may have saved three lives… after a woman and two young children in an S-U-V plunged into an icy-cold lake in Mason County Saturday. 911 callers reported an S-U-V had gone down a boat ramp at Lake Isabella, near Shelton. Deputies arrived and found the vehicle. It came to rest about 25 yards from shore. They say a female driver and two young kids were inside.
Deputies immediately launched rescue efforts. A passerby who saw what was going on also jumped in the water to help. They were able to get the woman and children out. Medics from Central Mason Fire & EMS transported all three to a hospital to be checked out. Their conditions have not been released.
It’s unknown how that vehicle ended up in the water. The Washington State Patrol is investigating. Staff members of the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Washington State Parks Department also assisted with the rescue.
