Missouri teen dies following water scooter accident on lake

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Authorities say a 14-year-old St. Louis teen died following a water scooter accident on Table Rock Lake.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the accident happened at about 4 p.m. Saturday.

The girl was pronounced dead at a hospital later that evening. Her name was not immediately released.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports she was driving a Bombardier water scooter on the lake when another water scooter driven by a 15-year-old boy hit hers.

Both of the St. Louis-area teens were wearing safety devices at the time.
