A man and a woman were seriously injured Monday evening in a boat crash at the Lake of the Ozarks, according to a crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
The report says the crash occurred at the 31-mile marker of the main channel at the mouth of Big Niangua. The vehicle was anchored at a dock, the report says. The driver – a 19-year-old woman from Tekamah, Nebraska – tried to avoid crashing with another boat and put the 1998 Searay 210 BR in reverse, the report says.
The anchor became dislodged and hit a passenger – a 20-year-old man from Santa Rose, New Mexico – in the head, the report says. Both people had serious injuries and were brought to Lake Regional Hospital by ambulance. Neither person was wearing a life jacket, the report says.
The boat had moderate damage, according to the report.
