GEORGE — A Puyallup man died from injuries sustained when he was run over by a boat trailer during the Watershed Music Festival at the Gorge Amphitheater on Friday, according to a statement from the Grant County Sheriff’s Office.

Carson Santos, 19, was running alongside a Toyota Tundra towing a boat trailer when he attempted to jump onto the tongue of the trailer, lost his footing, and fell under the wheels of the trailer, according to the GCSO statement. Santos was airlifted to Central Washington Hospital, but later succumbed to his injuries.

The driver of the Tundra, 23-year-old Dylan Guido of Roseburg, Ore., and his passengers remained at the scene and cooperated with law enforcement, the statement said. Guido was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs when the accident occurred.
