BRIEF: Park District vehicle slides off bike path into Lake Michigan near Oak Street

Nov. 28--A Chicago Park District vehicle slid off an icy bike path near Oak Street beach and plunged into Lake Michigan Friday morning as workers were removing graffiti, officials said.

The crew was working along the bike path at 1000 North Lake Lake Shore around 10:30 a.m. when the vehicle "slid from the iced area into Lake Michigan," according to Park District spokeswoman Jessica Maxey-Faulkner.

No one was in the vehicle and no injuries were reported.

Bicyclists were directed from the path between North and Ohio avenues while it was salted and cleared, she said.
