A young skateboarder sustained serious injuries Friday evening after being struck by a passing car. According to Darien Police, the boy was leaving McGuane Park near the West Avenue exit at approximately 5:15 p.m. He apparently rode too far out into the roadway, and a driver in a 2005 Pontiac G6 collided with the boy near 260 West Avenue.
Paramedics rushed the boy to Stamford Hospital for treatment. His condition is not known. The driver was not hurt in the crash, but there was minor damages to the vehicle. The driver is cooperating with police.
Police shut down portions of West Avenue between Noroton Avenue and Edgerton Street for three hours to inspect the collision site. They are still investigating the incident, and any person who witnessed it should call (203) 662-5300.
