Angelique De Leon, 23, of Riverside, California died Sunday, November 27, 2011 from injuries she sustained while snowboarding at Southern California’s Mountain High resort, according to a story in the Los Angeles Times.
[The] Riverside resident was wearing a helmet when she fell forward at about 4 p.m. on a run she had already descended successfully several times during the day, authorities said. . . “It was a head-over-heels fall, and she sustained internal injuries,” said Deputy Jeff Lewison of the San Bernardino county coroner’s office. “It just somehow hit wrong.”
Sadly, De Leon is the third snowboarder in North America to die in the first month of the new snowboarding season. Our thoughts are with De Leon’s family and friends.
