Grant County, WA – A 36-year-old man died after an overnight ATV crash at Beverly Sand Dunes, prompting an active investigation.
According to the Grant County Sheriff’s Office, deputies are investigating a fatal collision that occurred around 1 a.m. at the dunes recreation area. Authorities said Alexander Munday was allegedly a passenger in an all-terrain vehicle that overturned and came to rest upside down, partially submerged in Crab Creek.
Munday was declared dead at the scene. Officials stated his remains are now in the care of Grant County Coroner Craig Morrison, whose office will conduct an autopsy to determine the official cause of death.
Investigators have not yet released details about the driver, potential contributing factors, or whether speed, terrain, or impairment played a role. The sheriff’s office said more information will be shared once the investigation is complete.
The Beverly Sand Dunes area is a popular off-road destination known for its challenging terrain and proximity to water channels, which can increase risk for riders, especially at night.
The incident may raise safety concerns for recreational riders and visitors, particularly young adults and weekend travelers who frequent the dunes for off-road activities.
Authorities continue to urge caution when operating ATVs in low-visibility conditions and near waterways.
This remains an active investigation.
