Skateboarder Lucas Gianconelli, 15, died after being stuck by a car Friday evening in Vista, California. The car did not stop. It seems a 92-year-old man is responsible, according to a story on NBC San Diego.
Authorities said that at a vigil for Lucas that was held Saturday night, the 92-year-old man stopped by and asked a deputy what was going on. The deputy explained what had happened, and, officials said, the man told him he had been driving on the street around the time of the accident and thought he had hit a small animal. . . Deputies followed the man home and found damage to his car consistent with a pedestrian being hit by a vehicle. The man has cooperated with detectives, investigators said.
Our thoughts are with Lucas’ family and friends.
