BOZEMAN - A 53-year-old Belgrade woman who was water skiing on Ennis Lake died after she crashed into the shore.

Madison County Sheriff Dave Schenk says Phyllis Kessler died Sunday at Madison Valley Hospital after the 7:15 p.m. accident. Schenk says 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 didn't know how fast the boat was traveling when the accident occurred.
