A woman pulled from Edmonton's North Saskatchewan River on Saturday afternoon was rescued just seconds before the current moved huge sheets of ice in her direction. The woman, who was in her 30s, fell through the ice on the north side of the river at Dawson Park when she ventured onto it to save her dog. Bystanders managed to pull the small dog out of the river, but said the woman was stuck in the freezing water for about 10 minutes. Murray said he fears the woman would have gone under the water if crews hadn't reached her when they did. Derek Sehn said the dog was panicking, so the woman swam out and managed to get hold of it.
