Cottleville Woman Injured in Personal Watercraft Accident at LOTO

A Cottleville woman was injured in a personal watercraft accident that occurred Saturday afternoon at Lake of the Ozarks.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports that a 2001 Searay, driven by 59-year-old Thomas M. Morrow of Rocky Mount, was at the 6 ½ mile marker of the main channel around 3 p.m., when he mistakenly grabbed the throttle instead of the gear shift, causing the vessel to rapidly accelerate in reverse, striking a docked 1990 Fountain Boat, driven by 36-year-old Amy Kohl of Cottleville.

Kohl suffered moderate injuries and was transported by ambulance to Lake Regional Hospital in Osage Beach.

Both personal watercraft had minor damage.
