According to the Flathead County Sheriff's Office, one man managed to scramble out of the cold water and the other was pulled out on a sled. The Marion Ambulance and other emergency responders were dispatched, and one of the two men was taken to Kalispell Regional Medical Center to be warmed. The four-wheeler was hauled out of six feet of water.
