KANSAS CITY, Mo. — One person suffered serious injuries Saturday in a boat collision at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Missouri State Highway Patrol said that 31-year-old Zachary Strothkamp, of Valley Park, Missouri, was "thrown airborne" from a 2005 Yamaha PWC after jumping the wake of a 2013 Formula, which was driven by 44-year-old Richard Chapman, of Wentzville.

The crash occurred at 2:50 p.m. at the 5.2 mile marker of Gland Glaize Arm.

Strothkamp hit his own vessel, according to an MSHP crash report, and was transported to University Hospital.
