CROSBY, Texas (KTRK) -- Authorities say emergency crews are looking for a man who was seen swimming underwater but never resurfaced at an off-road park in Crosby on Tuesday.

According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, deputies and EMS were dispatched for a water rescue at Xtreme Off Road Park and Beach located at 1927 Gulf Pump Rd., just after 12 p.m. on Tuesday.

Investigators said a 33-year-old man was seen going under the water in a body of water at the park and never resurfaced. HCSO said a dive team is assisting with the search for the man.

In an update, HCSO officials told ABC13 that the investigation is still ongoing, adding that crews have not been able to pull the victim out of the water yet and that this has now become a recovery mission.



In a post on social media, Xtreme Off Road Park and Beach said that four men in a truck arrived at the park and made their way to the body of water closest to the entrance. According to the post, one of the men was challenged by the others to cross the body of water, despite it being "clearly marked as a 'No Swimming' area."



SkyEye flew over the scene on Tuesday, showing the emergency crews responding to the incident.

SkyEye was overhead on Tuesday afternoon, capturing images of emergency crews responding to the water rescue.



This incident comes two weeks after officials reported that a 20-year-old man died in an ATV crash at the same off-road park.
