TEMECULA: Teen skateboarder killed crossing busy street
A 14-year-old boy was killed Tuesday night when he skateboarded across a busy Temecula road in front of an SUV, authorities said.
Noah Austill, an eighth-grader at Gardner Middle School in Temecula, died at the scene, Riverside County coroner’s officials said.
Noah was riding east on Rancho California Road about 9:30 p.m. and crossing Ynez Road when he was hit by a Jeep Liberty, Riverside County sheriff’s officials said.
Sgt. John Magnan said the 20-year-old SUV driver was headed north on Ynez Road and didn’t see the boy before his vehicle hit him. It appears the driver had a green light when he entered the intersection, Magnan said.
Noah was alone, dressed in dark clothing and might have been wearing headphones when he was hit, Magnan said. It was unclear whether he had been riding in the street or on the sidewalk before the accident, he said.
“He was probably just on his skateboard cruising home,” Magnan said.
The driver was not arrested. No alcohol or other impairment is suspected, Magnan said.
Magnan declined to release the driver’s name because deputies are still investigating.
Melanie Norton, spokeswoman for the Temecula Valley Unified School District, said this was Noah’s first year in district. School is closed this week for spring break.
