LAKE BENTON — Authorities resume their search for two people missing while ice fishing on a lake in southwestern Minnesota.

Lincoln County sheriff’s officials say there’s evidence their vehicle may have broken through the ice near Norwegian Creek Campground north of the community of Lake Benton.

Twenty-nine-year-old Brianna Jean Thooft and 54-year-old Bradley Allen Lund were last heard from early Sunday when they apparently left a fish house on Lake Benton.
