A tragic incident occurred at a Kentucky off-road adventure park over the weekend, resulting in the death of a man after a utility task vehicle (UTV) he was in fell off an 80-foot cliff. The unfortunate event took place at Hollerwood Off-Road Park in Stanton, where the man and a woman were riding in the UTV and lost control of the vehicle.
Following the accident, the woman was trapped inside the vehicle but managed to call 911 for help. She informed rescuers that the man had been ejected from the UTV as it tumbled down the cliff. Search and rescue teams from various agencies, along with civilian bystanders, scoured the park's extensive trails spanning over 2,500 acres of ridges and valleys to locate the crash site.
Upon finding the site, rescue teams swiftly set up multiple rope systems to extract the woman from the vehicle. Tragically, the man was pronounced dead at the scene, and his identity has not yet been disclosed to the public. The Powell County Search and Rescue expressed their condolences, stating, 'Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the family and loved ones involved in this incident.'
Stanton, the location of the off-road park, is situated in eastern Kentucky, approximately 45 miles southeast of Lexington. The park, known for its challenging trails and rugged terrain, attracts off-road enthusiasts seeking adventure and excitement.
