(Updated at 9:41 EST Wed., Oct. 12: It was erroneously reported that Gary Haraguchi was Horton's day 1 co-angler. The co-angler is now believed to be Leon Williams, although that is still unconfirmed.)
BassFan was told by numerous sources, including at least two anglers fishing today's Lake of the Ozarks FLW Series, that a wreck occurred resulting in injury. Note that no details have been confirmed, but all sources reported that pro Tim Horton and his co-angler were thrown from Horton's boat during day 1 of competition. The co-angler is believed to be Leon Williams of Fairdale, Ky.
Reportedly, the co-angler suffered a spinal injury and was airlifted to a St. Louis, Mo. hospital for surgery. The extent of the injury in unknown. Horton is reported to be okay, and on his way to St. Louis.
BassFan currently has calls in to both Horton and FLW Outdoors officials for confirmation.
