Man dies in Lafayette County boating accident

LEXINGTON, Mo. -- A Lexington man was killed in a weekend boating accident on the Missouri River, authorities say.

The accident happened after three men went out in a boat on the river near Lexington on Saturday night to run fishing lines, according to a Missouri State Water Patrol report.

The Water Patrol said that on the way back to the landing ramp, the boat struck a wing dike and one of the men, sitting on the front deck, was thrown overboard.

The body of Adam L. Ashinhurst, 26, was recovered Sunday morning from about 20 feet of water, the patrol said.
