The Bristol County District Attorney's office says the collision happened last afternoon during the Bill Giles Memorial Regatta on Watson Pond in Taunton.
Taunton Fire Chief Timothy Bradshaw said in a statement that one speed boat spun out traveling 65 mph, causing a pileup. He said all three drivers were thrown from their boats.
The Bristol County DA's office says a 39-year-old New Hampshire man died at the scene. A second boater, a 67-year-old man from Maine, was rushed to Rhode Island Hospital in critical condition, and a 72-year-old Maine man was treated for minor injuries. Their names were not immediately released.
