Peter Ramirez, 16, died and one of his friends was injured when they both slammed into a flatbed truck while skateboarding down a hill in Loomis, California.
Due to a hill, the skateboarders and the driver could not see each other before they collided, officials said. . . Officials said the truck driver, who was questioned and released, does not appear to be at fault. His truck was impounded to check for any mechanical issues.
Oddly, both skateboarders were “wearing protective gear, including helmets and gloves.”
