A 67-year-old man, Clay Creighton, died in a UTV accident on Lake Winnebago after the vehicle fell into a crack in the ice. His friend, Mike Huffman, survived but was treated for hypothermia. Huffman described the incident as a "freak accident," noting there were no markers to indicate the crack's presence. He attempted to flag down help for over 20 minutes before bystanders arrived. Creighton was a long-time member of the Fond du Lac Yacht Club, known for his humor and contributions to club events. A visitation for him is scheduled for Saturday in Fond du Lac.
