A 17-year-old skateboarder broke his left leg Saturday when he was struck by the moving SUV he was hanging onto in Ocean Beach.
The crash occurred at 1:44 p.m. in the 1800 block of Froude Street, according to San Diego police Officer Robert Heims.
The teen was hanging onto an open passenger window of a moving 1997 Toyota 4Runner southbound on Froude, Heims said.
“The rear tire of the 4Runner struck the skateboard,” the officer said. “When he stepped off of his skateboard, the rear tire of the 4Runner struck the rider.”
Paramedics took the teen to a hospital with open fractures to his lower left leg, Heims said.
