Hayward teen injured in skateboard accident with car
By Sergeant T. Schnitzius, Antioch Police Field Services Bureau
On May 29, 2013 at approximately 4:53 p.m., the Antioch Police Department responded to a call of an injury accident at the intersection of Pawnee and Indian Hills Drive. Officers arrived to find an 18-year-old Hayward male in semi-conscious state with serious injuries. The male had been riding a “Rip Stick” down the street with no helmet, went through the stop sign at Pawnee and Indian Hills Drive.
The other involved party was in a vehicle traveling westbound on Indian Hills Drive at about 25-30 MPH. The male broadsided the vehicle and was thrown about 30 feet. The male was life flighted to a nearby hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries. He is expected to make a full recovery. It does not appear based on our preliminary investigation that alcohol was a factor in the collision.
