Excavator out of Lake Michigan, barge still stuck

Crews are back to work trying to free a grounded barge, after an excavator sank into Lake Michigan.

The excavator became partially submerged on Wednesday after it was sent to help remove the barge.

Crews were able to pull the excavator out of the water on Friday morning and spent the rest of the day pumping water off the barge.

Officials say larger equipment has been brought in to try to free the barge.
