One person is dead and two are missing -- with several others injured -- in a Labor Day boating accident in Connecticut.

Nine people were on the 31-foot motorboat at the time of the accident, which took place on the Connecticut River at about 9 p.m. near Harbor One Marina in Old Saybrook.

The boat hit a jetty at the mouth of the Connecticut River, causing "significant" damage to the boat, officials said.

A man was recovered dead, and six people were taken to the hospital for treatment Monday night, police said. A search for the two missing people stopped around 1 a.m. and restarted Tuesday morning.

The second body was found at around 4:30 p.m., according to DEEP. His name has also not been released. Officials have not announced where he was found.

The chief medical examiner’s office will determine the cause and manner of the deaths.

Sad, a young guy with a lifetime of adventures he'll never get to experience. I will never understand being in a boat and not wearing a life jacket. It's like riding in a car without a seatbelt. My brothers have boats, never wear LJ when they go out, boggles my mind.

Rest in peace, Christopher.
