How the Hualapai Mountains UTV Crash Unfolded
Deputies, Search and Rescue crews and park rangers were called to the area at about 2 p.m. The sheriff's office said a group of UTVs was traveling on a narrow, rocky trail from Soap Canyon toward Hualapai Mountain County Park. The sheriff's office said one of the vehicles left the trail and rolled about 200 feet down a ravine. Because the ground was steep and rugged, responders needed a technical rope system to reach the vehicle. Search and Rescue brought the man's body to the command post.
What Happens After the Mohave County Response
The man's body was then transferred to the Mohave County Medical Examiner's Office. The sheriff's office has not released his name. No charges have been announced, and no further details about the crash have been made public.
