(NEW YORK) — A 21-year-old man has died while attempting to perform a \u201chigh-risk skiing stunt\u201d trying to jump the width of a U.S. highway in Colorado, authorities say.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred on Tuesday at approximately 3 p.m. when the Grand County Communications Center in Colorado received a 911 call regarding a skiing accident on Highway 40, just west of Berthoud Pass Summit about reports of a 21-year-old male skier who was found \u201cunconscious and not breathing,\u201d according to a statement from the Grand County Sheriff\u2019s Office released on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe preliminary investigation revealed that the victim was attempting to perform a high-risk skiing stunt by trying to clear the width of Highway 40 and unfortunately lacked the necessary speed and distance and subsequently landed on the highway pavement,\u201d authorities said. \u201cThe victim had been wearing a helmet and other protective gear.\u201d<\/p>\n

Officials initiated CPR on the man but could not resuscitate him.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmergency responders arrived on scene and determined that the male subject was deceased and the Grand County Coroner\u2019s Office was notified to respond to the scene,\u201d according to Grand County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

The incident impacted Highway 40 traffic in both directions while investigators processed the scene and maintained the privacy of the victim, police say.<\/p>\n

The Grand County Coroner\u2019s Office has now assumed primary jurisdiction over this case and will release the victim\u2019s identity and cause and manner of death \u201cwhen appropriate,\u201d authorities said.<\/p>\n

The investigation into the accident is currently ongoing.<\/p>\n
