Woman dies in water skiing accident

By The Associated Press - 08/28/2008

BOZEMAN (AP) — A 53-year-old Belgrade woman who was water

skiing on Ennis Lake died after she crashed into the shore, Madison County's sheriff said Wednesday.

Sheriff Dave Schenk said Phyllis A. Kessler died Sunday at Madison Valley Hospital after the

7:15 p.m. accident.

Schenk said the boat towing Kessler approached a restricted area. The

driver began to turn around but there wasn't enough room for the arc of the skier. Schenk said he didn't know how fast the boat was

traveling when the accident occurred.

"There didn't seem to be any negligence," he said.
