WASHINGTON — Rescuers are searching for a middle-aged Upper Marlboro man who went missing after a boat accident Sunday just north of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.

The Coast Gaurd, Anne Arundel Fire and Rescue, and Maryland State Police are assisting the Maryland Natural Resources Police in the search.
Among those rescued was the missing man’s son, police said.
