"Capital Of Baja California, Mexico, Mexicali, BC., SEMEFO
Off-road race motorcycle rider Jason Hogan died of hyperthermia during the Score Baja 500 competition on the Ensenada to San Felipe highway.
The Medical Examiner's Service confirmed that the cause of death of the 55-year-old American was heat stroke due to the high temperatures in the region. This is the first death from hyperthermia in an off-road race, while it is the third death from heat stroke that is recorded in Baja California during this season; the first two were in Mexicali, where climatic conditions generate this type of death. On Saturday afternoon in the vicinity of the Ejido Héroes de la Independencia, at kilometer 83 of the highway from the port of Ensenada in the Pacific Ocean to San Felipe, in the Gulf of California, Jason Hogan collapsed during the course of the Pro Moto 50 category. The first report indicated that it had been an accident due to the conditions of the wild road on which the road develops, waiting to inspect if there had been any mechanical damage. Everything was ruled out this Sunday with the forensic medical report, which indicates that the fall suffered by the motorcyclist was due to the symptoms of heat stroke, whose symptomatology is an accelerated pulse, throbbing headache, dizziness, confusion and fainting. Due to the conditions of the road, at mile 324 in the area known as Cordillera de Molina, a rescue group entered the area of the accident and was transferred by emergency helicopter to an aid station of the competition, where the paramedics of the Red Cross confirmed that he no longer had vital signs."
