Skateboarder injured after struck by vehicle in Las Vegas

A skateboarder was in critical condition after being hit by a vehicle on Wednesday night. According to Las Vegas police, the incident happened around 5:04 p.m. near Deer Springs Way and Durango Drive. Investigators said evidence at the scene and witness statements indicated a 1997 GMC Sierra pickup truck was traveling westbound on Deer Springs Way. That’s when a skateboarder was crossing the street outside of a marked crosswalk in “heavy traffic backed up from the intersection with Durango Drive”. Police said the skateboarder was hit after crossing into the path of the pickup.

The skateboarder, who police believed to be between 17 and 20 years old, was taken to University Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. His condition was unknown, as of 11:45 a.m. Police stated that the pickup driver stayed at the scene of the crash and showed no signs of impairment.

Help in a Crisis

Following a traumatic event, people often feel helpless, confused, and experience emotional shock. They are confronted with a situation for which they are totally unprepared.

Often there is no one available in the immediate aftermath of a tragedy to guide the victims through these difficult hours. The TIP volunteer provides this necessary temporary support until persons involved in the crisis are able to depend on family, friends, neighbors, and other resources in the community.
