Eight people injured after boat crashes into home near Lake of the Ozarks

Eight people have been injured after a boat crashed into a home near Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri.

The crash took place on Saturday night, causing damage to the home and injuring all eight people on the boat, law enforcement said.

“The boat ran aground and struck a home, causing it to overturn, ejecting all eight passengers,” Missouri State Highway Patrol tweeted.

The 47-year-old driver of the vessel was detained for boating while intoxicated, the authorities said.

The incident report states that all of the passengers were adults. They were all taken to Lake Regional Hospital in Osage Beach. Six of them suffered serious injuries while two sustained moderate injuries.

The boat was a 2014 Nor-Tech and the house it crashed into “sustained extensive damage,” highway patrol said.

On Sunday, law enforcement said they were reconstructing the crash scene using a drone.

“The boat has been loaded onto a trailer and towed away. This crash has garnered a lot of attention, with many people venturing onto the property to look at the damage. Please remember this is a private residence and we ask that you avoid trespassing onto their property,” the highway patrol tweeted.

The people onboard, four women and four men, were aged between 21 and 51.
