Two people are injured in separate incidents on the water Sunday evening at Lake of the Ozarks.
The highway patrol says the first happened around 6:30 at the half-mile mark of the Big Niangua when 85-year-old Wanda Eakins, of Camdenton, was a passenger in the boat that hit a large wake.
Eakins was thrown into the air and seriously hurt when she came back down impacting the boat. She was taken to Lake Regional.
The second incident happened around 8:00 Sunday night at the 13.2 mile mark of the Big Niangua when 48-year-old Kevin Anderson, of St. Louis attempted to jump onto a dock while docking a boat.
Anderson missed and, instead, fell into the water hitting the dock himself.
He refused care for minor injuries.
