Tragic story.

You take a risk everytime you skate, drive, walk, leave the house...

SUV’s on the loose once again.

Prayers for the young boy, but would the vehicle have been identified if it had been a pick-up, sedan or hip hybrid?

> He was thrown about 40 feet when he was struck by the SUV, the Orange County Register reported.

'Strewth! I just paced out 40 feet to see how far it was -- it's quite a distance.

Makes me wonder how fast the SUV was travelling??

Prayers for Nathan and his family going up. And for the driver and his family.

I don’t know if he is legal or not, but the guy is a menace on and off the road.

Right in my backyard. I can walk to Los Alisos in less than ten minutes. I’m guessing this happened a bit further down the road from my house, however, but it could not have been more than 10 -15 miles.

Skateboarding on the streets is a nuisance and a menace. If you are going to skateboard on the streets, don’t be surprised if you are hit by oncoming traffic. Streets were designed for vehicles, and sidewalks for pedestrians, not skateboarders.

How sad.

Duke Lopez what an interesting name.

Prayers for all who will miss the young lad.

Lord this would be a good time for intervention.

California must be different than some other states. In most states if you are driving over the legal limit and are in a fatal accident, you are charged with vehicular homicide regardless of fault. In Indiana, the conviction rate is nearly 100%. I know a young man who is currently in the 3rd year of a six year sentence for an incident just like this.

This is a tragedy- no helmet, and he may have had a traumatic brain injury even if he had survived. Please check out these foundations: awtbii.org and theiantilmannfoundation.org FREE helmets for skaters! Save our sons!!
