Boating Accident on 28 Mile Marker

Two people received minor injuries following an accident at the 28 miler marker of the main channel Saturday morning. According to the Highway Patrol’s Water Division, 63 year old Danny Chester from Osage Beach was traveling eastbound into Racetrack Hallow Cove in his 1994 Ranger bass boat when 61 year old Steve Marlatt of Atchison Kansas was also traveling into the same cove in his 2013 Bennington pontoon. Both operators noticed an offshore boat exiting the cove, but Chester did not observe Marlatt entering the cove at the same location he was entering and he struck them in the front starboard side.
