Duck Boat sinks in Missouri, 13 dead, including children

Seventeen people have died after an amphibious “duck boat” carrying tourists sank in stormy weather in the US state of Missouri, police said.

Stone County Sheriff Doug Rader said all bodies have now been recovered from Thursday’s accident.

The vessel was carrying 31 people when it overturned on Table Rock Lake, a popular tourist attraction near the town of Branson.

The captain of the amphibious boat survived, but the driver did not.

Emergency crews responded to the incident shortly after 19:00 (00:00 GMT) on Thursday.
