Less than three days after a dump truck working on construction on the Ingraham Trail fell into Pontoon Lake, a second vehicle was in the water.

Residents shared photos with Cabin Radio on Friday that appear to show an excavator in the lake.

It is not known at this time if there were any injuries related to the incident.

A report on the Department of Environment and Climate Change’s spills database indicates an instrument spilled 450 litres of fuel.

Cabin Radio has reached out to the Department of Infrastructure, RTL Robinson Enterprises Ltd – the construction company contracted to work on the project, and KAG Canada – RTL’s parent company – for more information.

The department previously said a dump truck fell into the lake around 11am on Tuesday when a construction embankment slumped. There were no injuries reported in that incident and the truck was recovered by 5:30am on Wednesday.

While a spill report was made in connection to the incident, a spokesperson for the department said RTL had found no signs of a spill.
