A teenager died after a boating accident in Texas over the weekend, according to authorities.

Kaden Forke, 14, was found dead Monday evening after he was involved in a boat crash on Lake Austin Sunday, according to a press release from the Austin Police Department obtained by PEOPLE.

Ken Campbell, assistant chief of the CE-Bar Fire Department, said the teen was ejected from the boat after it hit the wake of another vessel and lost control, NBC affiliate KXAN-TV reported.

Austin-Travis County EMS said that one passenger went missing after the boat “ran aground," according to a post on Twitter (now known as X). Around 7 p.m. local time on Sunday, they announced that the rescue mission had transitioned into "recovery mode."
