The family was allegedly headed back to their cabin after fishing when the ATV broke through the ice.
“The machine was equipped with tracks and quickly submerged with the occupants inside the enclosed cab. Two other family members were following on snowmobiles and witnessed the incident,” said the Hubbard County Sheriff’s Office, according to CBS Minnesota.
After the ATV broke through the ice, the victim’s son allegedly pulled all three out of the water and then began performing CPR on his mother.
The victim was reportedly pronounced dead after being transported to a Fargo hospital.
