Deputies and firefighters pulled a driver from a submerged truck in Lake Phalen

An 80-year-old St. Paul man was pulled from his truck in Lake Phalen on Monday afternoon and taken to a hospital in stable condition, KARE 11 reported. The truck was at least 30 feet from shore.

Ramsey County deputies answered a 911 call about a truck in the lake around 12:20 p.m. Officials said two bystanders were already in the water. They could not open the doors, but they broke a window. By the time Ramsey County deputies, Maplewood police, St. Paul police, and St. Paul firefighters went in, the truck was fully under water. They got the driver out.

KARE 11 reported that he was being treated for injuries and was in stable condition. Officials said he had a medical incident and did not describe it further.
