    Some AV narrow roads with no sidewalks are lethal for peds bikers and skaters… I moved here few months ago and I’m shocked by the number of fatalities … like 2 monthly!

    So what if he was riding his skateboard at midnight!!! What does that have to do with anything??
    And guess what, he doesn’t have to have a reason to be out at midnight on his skateboard.
    Poor baby, RIP.

    I seen a guy last night in
    Littlerock riding his skateboard, I was surprised because it was after 9pm, and very dark. I seen movement and turned on my highbeams and it look like he had black hair and a hat on his head, I think he might have had glasses on too. He looked like he was in his early 20’s, I wonder if it could be the same guy… very sad my prayers go out to his family….
