ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - One man has been killed and two others injured in a boating accident in Annapolis.

Maryland Natural Resources Police said in a statement that 49-year-old Paul Dettor was thrown from a 20-foot boat Sunday night when the vessel hit a rock jetty in Whitehall Creek. He was found on the rock jetty and pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities did not release a cause of death.

Two other men who were on board the boat were treated for minor injuries.

Police say Dettor is the eighth person to die in a boating incident in Maryland this year.
