Two adults and four children are safe after a boat got stuck on a wing dike Monday on the Missouri River in St. Joseph.

Sgt. Jake Angle with the Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop H said water patrol officers and patrol officers were dispatched around 12:17 p.m. after receiving a distress call of a boat that was stuck about a mile north of the French Bottoms boat dock.

“The call was that they were stuck on a wing dike and taking on water,” Angle said.

He said the St. Joseph Fire Department had already responded to the scene when water patrol arrived. Angle said a trooper with the patrol boarded the boat with the fire department.

Prior to arrival, the boat had become unstuck from the wing dike and the boat had floated to shore on the Kansas side of the river.

“St. Joe fire with our officer on board rescued the two adults and the four kids,” Angle said.

No injuries were reported.
