Weekend Boating Accident Leaves One Man Dead

A boating accident in Barnegat Bay Saturday morning left one man dead and another injured after both were thrown from a vessel, according to New Jersey State Police.

The victim, identified as 56-year-old Karl Chen of Princeton, was killed in the crash, which occurred around 10 a.m. off Little Egg Harbor.

State Police said the 27-foot boat struck a large wake, ejecting both men on board. The vessel then continued circling in the water and fatally struck Chen.

The second occupant was pulled from the bay by a passing boater and treated for minor injuries, police said
