A 19-year-old man died after falling from the bed of a pickup truck on private property in San Antonio, Texas, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office. The incident occurred during an activity known as “mudding,” where off-road vehicles navigate through muddy terrains, often for recreational purposes.

Authorities identified the deceased as Blake West. The young man was riding in the back of the truck when he fell out as the vehicle moved through rough, muddy ground. Investigators said the truck ran over West after he fell, leading to fatal injuries.

The off-road event took place at an unregulated site frequently used for such recreational mudding activities. This form of entertainment, while popular among certain groups, does not adhere to formal safety regulations, raising concerns regarding the risks involved.

Police did not detail how many individuals were present during the incident. However, local reports suggest several participants were engaged in the activity at the time. The driver of the pickup truck has not been publicly named, and no charges have been filed as of the last update.

This incident has prompted the sheriff’s office to issue a warning about the dangers of riding in the back of open vehicles during off-road activities. Authorities emphasized the importance of using protective gear and following safety guidelines to prevent such accidents.

West’s family has launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover funeral expenses, which has drawn public attention and support. Community members and friends expressed their condolences and shared memories of West as a young man who enjoyed outdoor adventures.

The occurrence highlights the growing trend of non-regulated off-road activities and the associated hazards. State officials have yet to introduce specific legislation targeting the safe conduct of such recreational events. In the meantime, enthusiasts are urged to exercise caution and prioritize safety.

Bexar County officials continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the accident. They are working to determine whether any additional factors contributed to the fatal incident. The sheriff’s office has reiterated that anyone with further information should come forward to assist with the investigation.
