ST. LOUIS (AP) — A 14-year-old St. Louis teen died Saturday following a water scooter accident on Table Rock Lake, authorities said.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol said the accident happened at about 4 p.m. near Little Indian Point, and the teenage girl was pronounced dead at a Springfield hospital later that evening. Her name was not immediately released.

She was driving a Bombardier water scooter on the lake when another water scooter driven by a 15-year-old boy hit hers, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
