Missouri Boating Accident Injures 2 St. Louis Men
A recent report claims that two St. Louis men suffered serious injuries when their boat ran aground at Lake of the Ozarks. The Missouri Water Patrol said that a 45-year-old St. Charles man and a 45-year-old Smithton man were taken to Lake Regional Hospital with serious injuries after the Missouri boating accident at Twin Islands near Laurie. A 58-year-old Belleville man who was involved in the accident was also taken to the hospital to treat what were described as moderate injuries.
The investigation is still underway but early reports claim that the three men were aboard a runabout that left Horny Toad Cove and ran aground at Twin Islands. They called 911 and were met by emergency personnel when they returned to Horny Toad Cove.
