52 Foot SeaRay crashes, LAKE OF THE OZARKS

LAKE OF THE OZARKS, Mo. - A 52-foot SeaRay ran aground this weekend after taking evasive action to avoid a collision with another vessel.

Keith Baker of Town and Country, Mo., cruised out of small cove to enter the main channel at the 34-mile marker at approximately 11:30, Friday, when a boat came across his SeaRay’s bow. Baker swerved to miss the other unidentified boat, struck a concrete seawall and ran aground.

Baker and the two passengers aboard the vessel escaped injury.

The Missouri State Water Patrol has estimated damages to the SeaRay at $20,000.

3 Hurt in Grease Fire

A cooking accident at Park Place condos Sunday evening sends two local residents to the hospital.

The Osage Beach Fire Protection District was called to Park Place Condominiums at 5:30. Apparently while cooking, a pan of grease caught fire and the man and woman cooking attempted to carry the burning pan outside and dump it over the balcony. When they dumped the grease, the fire "flashed" or intensified, burning the victims.

The woman suffered second and third degree burns on 25% of her body and was flown by helicopter to University Hospital in Columbia. A Miller County ambulance transported the male victim to Lake Regional Hospital, also for treatment of burns to 25% of his skin.

The Osage Beach Fire Marshal's investigation into the kitchen accident is ongoing. There was no damage to the condo unit.

OSAGE BEACH, Mo. -- FUNHOME has seen better days. Bradley Harrington's Baja stolen two weeks ago from Kelly's Port was found chopped Friday.

The partially dismantled 1993 Baja 38 Special turned up at a truck stop at the intersection of Highways 61 and 67 in Jefferson County, Mo.

Before its discovery, the Baja had been last seen on Aug. 13.

Within a week of the Baja's disappearance, a 33-foot Donzi was reported stolen from Midwest Boat Brokerage.

The Donzi, estimated at $85,000, was recovered only eight hours after its theft after a part-time lake area resident saw the vessel in an abandoned parking lot in St. Louis after receiving the description released by the Lake Ozark Police via e-mail through LakeExpo's Daily Lake Alert.

The St. Louis Police recovered the Donzi and have since been working diligently as part of a multi-departmental investigation with the Missouri State Water Patrol, Missouri State Highway Patrol, St. Charles County Sheriff’s Department, Lake Ozark Police Department and Osage Beach Department of Public Safety.
