Lakes across Missouri—like Longview Lake—will see an increase in boating traffic this weekend. It's also one of the busiest times for the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

But a day on the lake can quickly turn dangerous. A 16-year-old died Saturday, June 21, on Table Rock Lake after a head-on jet ski collision, according to Missouri State Highway Patrol officials.
