The dangers of Lake Michigan have been self-evident in recent days, with three drownings in just the past week.
As CBS 2's Jermont Terry reported Thursday night, many will hit the beaches this coming weekend. But the drowning of 20-year-old Amy Kelts should serve as a reminder of just how dangerous the currents of Lake Michigan can be.On the first day of summer Wednesday, Kelts ventured onto Foster Avenue Beach on the north lakefront. The day on the sand and into the lake proved to be a fatal one.A GoFundMe account says Kelts and her best friend jumped in together. Yet high currents caught them both.
"If you are swimming when there's not lifeguards on duty, you're on your own, or you're at the mercy of a Good Samaritan helping you out," said Dave Benjamin, co-founder and executive director of the Great Lakes Surf Rescue Project,"and that Good Samaritan could be risking their lives as well." "And I'm told that my son was in the water - he was with his grandfather - and a wave took him," Onyx's mother, Natacha Cruz, said last week."They said that he was about knees-deep. It doesn't make sense."
