A 20-year-old woman from Scott Air Force Base, in Illinois, is seriously hurt after being hit by a pontoon boat after falling off a PWC. The highway patrol says it happened Saturday afternoon in Spring Cove, at the 9-milemarker of the main channel. A PWC operated by 49-year-old William Watschinger, also from Scott Air Force Base, turned in front of the pontoon causing him and a passenger to fall into the water. The pontoon boat tried to take evasive action but could not avoid the passenger, identified as Ashley Watschinger, who was taken to lake Regional before being flown to University Hospital.
