The Haysville Times

If you thought you saw a truck stuck in Riggs Pond this week, you don’t need to make an appointment with your optometrist. A city employee was checking on buildings in Riggs Park on Tuesday morning when the strong wind blew his truck, which was stuck in reverse, into the pond.
“Those old vehicles have some gear shift problems,” said the City’s Carol Neugent.
Neugent said the truck wasn’t in the pond very long before it was pulled out with a loader and chains. She expects the vehicle to make a full recovery.
“It’s a very old truck. It doesn’t have electronics, so we can dry it out, and it should be drivable,” she said. “We’re just glad that nobody was hurt.”
