EMPHASIS: Plane Crashes Into Lake Of The Ozarks


On March 11, 2015, at approximately 12:33 p.m., Troop F received a report of a plane crash at the Lake of the Ozarks, near Public Beach #2. Marine operations troopers arrived on the scene and confirmed a 1976 Beechcraft, B19 had crashed into the lake. All three occupants of the plane were able to get out. Two of the occupants were transported to Lake Regional Hospital with minor to moderate injuries. The aircraft had taken off from Glaze Airport en route to Creve Coeur, Missouri. The FAA will conduct the investigation into the cause of the crash.

In support of “The Drive To ZERO Highway Deaths,” the Patrol encourages motorists to protect themselves and their passengers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Watercraft operators should ensure that everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket.
