Police in The Bahamas are investigating a boating accident off Rose Island which left two men dead, and a third person injured.

Around 9:30 am, police were alerted that the bodies of two males were found unresponsive and another male found with head injuries in waters near Rose Island.

Police in an interview with Our News Bahamas said preliminary investigations suggests the three males were onboard a small open hull vessel on route to South Amherst when it is believed they collided with a reef in that area which resulted in them being ejected from the vessel.

A passerby vessel in the area was able to bring the injured man to harbour patrol base, with the injured man being taken to hospital. The other two men were pronounced dead. The identities of the victims are yet to be released.

The incident remains under investigation.
