WATCH: Officer vs. Duckling — a high-speed chase in La Crescent
Police and fire saved seven ducklings from storm drain.
While a high-speed chase in La Crosse led to a stolen vehicle ending up in the river, another chase in La Crescent was of a much different variety.
A call came in Tuesday that ducklings had fallen in a storm drain in La Crescent. The seven babies had to be rescued by officers with the La Crescent police and fire departments.
One duckling, however, tried to make a getaway. Officer Chris Frick was in hot pursuit.
