A police officer in Wengerlawn, Ohio was apparently trying to pass a 14-year-old skateboarder who was rolling on the side of the road and didn’t quite make it. The officer, who obviously should have slowed down, clipped the skateboarder with his side mirror, knocking the kid down resulting in a broken leg and a destroyed skateboard, according to a story on WHIO TV.
The teen’s family told NewsCenter 7 that he underwent surgery for a broken leg. He is listed in stable condition, recovering in the ICU, according to family members. . . Clay Twp. Police Chief Don Perkins said this is not the kind of situation where the officer would be placed on administrative leave until the investigation is complete.
No, no. Apparently running over kids on skateboards is just not that big a deal in Clay Township, Ohio.
