One killed, two injured in boating accident

MSHP boat2OSAGE BEACH, Mo. (AP) — A Lake of the Ozarks boat crash has killed one man and injured two others.  The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the crash happened Saturday morning in the Osage Arm of the lake.

A patrol report says 62-year-old Edward Sandt, of Hazelwood, was driving a fishing boat out of a cove.

That boat crossed the path of another, and each swerved to avoid the other.  But they swerved into each other.  In the collision, Sandt was thrown from the boat and then was struck by the vessel while in the water. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A passenger in Sandt’s boat suffered serious injuries, while the driver of the second watercraft was treated for minor injuries.
