Boating Accident

There was a boating accident on Bull Shoals Lake last night at the Missouri-Arkansas border near Pontiac. One boat involved was a bass boat carrying a father-son fishing duo. The other was a ski boat carrying at least six people. The driver of the ski boat is still missing. Search and recovery efforts are under way. A Pontiac first responder said five helicopters responded to the accident -- I believe four were Air Evac helicopters and the fifth was involved in the search of the missing man. I found this story on KTLO's website -- KTLO is a radio station based in Mountain Home, Ark. Click here to read what the radio station reported. I'll keep you posted as I learn more details.
