by The Editors on January 13, 2012

Landen Swanson, a 20-year-old skateboarder from Vista, California, died January 13, 2011 from injuries he sustained when he was hit-and-runned on January 9, 2012, according to a story on 10News.com.

Longtime family friend Staci Bevell told 10News media partner U-T San Diego the skateboarded was Landen Swanson. . . Swanson was taken off life support Friday when it was determined he had no brain activity so three of his organs could be donated, Bevell told the newspaper. . . A 35-year-old San Marcos man called authorities several hours after the incident and confessed to striking the skateboarder, authorities have said.

Our thoughts are with Swanson’s family and friends.
