A man was killed after he was run over by a boat Thursday night at the Anderson Reservoir, according to the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office.

Around 6:40 p.m., a group of people were on a ski boat at the Anderson Reservoir when on man in his mid 20s either jumped off or fell off the front of the boat, said Sgt. James Jensen.

The man was run over by the boat and hit by its propeller in his face and chest.

Jensen said people on the boat were able to pull the man back on board, but fire officials declared the man, who has not been identified, dead at the scene.
