July 20 (UPI) -- Seventeen people -- including nine people from a single family -- drowned after a tourist "duck boat" sank in southeast Missouri, authorities said Friday.
Stone County, Mo., Sheriff Doug Rader said the "Ride the Ducks" boat carrying 31 people sank in Table Rock Lake, near Branson, Mo., on Thursday. The "duck boats" are amphibious vehicles that take tourists through Missouri's Ozarks.
