Daredevil Alex Harvill dies attempting world-record motorcycle jump

A local stunt rider has died from injuries sustained while attempting to set a world-record motorcycle jump in Moses Lake, Washington. Alex Harvill, 28, died Thursday from his injuries, Grant County Coroner Craig Morrison said.

"Our deepest sympathies go out to Alex's family, friends and loved ones," Morrison said in a statement. Harvill was attempting to jump the length of a football field on his motorcycle during a performance at the Moses Lake Air Show when he crashed. Video of the jump appears to show Harvill landing short, slamming into the side of a large dirt mound.
