A northwest Missouri teenager has drowned after wading into deep water in the 102 River.

The Missouri Highway Patrol reports 16-year-old Lindsey Allee of Maryville was not able to swim after getting into the water.

According to the patrol, Allee entered the 102 about a quarter mile west of Barnard early Thursday afternoon. The Midwest Regional Dive Team out of Clarinda, Iowa arrived at the scene and recovered the body in about nine feet of water, upstream from the Route M bridge, two hours later.

Nodaway County Coroner Vince Shelby pronounced Allee dead at the scene.
