Divers search for car through ice

PORTERSVILLE, Pa. (AP) -- Emergency divers were searching for a vehicle believed to have fallen through a frozen lake where trappers found a large hole in the ice with tire tracks leading to it.
Tire tracks also indicated the driver had been spinning the vehicle in circles on other areas of Moraine State Park's Lake Arthur, said Jeff Anna, assistant regional manager for the western region of the Pennsylvania Bureau of State Parks.
Some trappers reported seeing a large hole in the ice about 100 yards from shore Monday about 7:30 a.m.
The tire tracks indicated the vehicle drove onto the lake, about 45 miles north of Pittsburgh, from a snowmobile trail and may have tried to exit it from a boat launch ramp near Route 528, which crosses the lake. The hole in the ice is 100-150 yards from that launch area, Anna said.
Anna said it wasn't clear how many people may have been in the car.
State police in Butler confirmed they were on the scene but referred comment to park officials.
The temperature was about 11 degrees when searchers entered the water.
The dive team consisted of fire-company volunteers, Anna said.
