Snowboarder dies riding on street

2009 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A 19 year old kid thought it smart to go snowboarding...down the middle of the road! This was in a rural area of Western New York, near Buffalo.

Article from The Buffalo News 1/14/09

An Ischua man who was snowboarding was fatally injured shortly after 3:30 a. m. Tuesday when he rode into the path of a car on Miller Hill Road, Cattaraugus County sheriff’s officials said.

The 19-year-old victim, whose name was being withheld late Tuesday, was riding his snowboard down Burt Road toward the Miller Hill intersection, where he was struck by a Pontiac Grand Prix driven by Nathan A. Green, 20, of Friendship, sheriff’s officials said.

The victim was taken by ambulance to Olean General Hospital, where he died of his injuries.

Green was not charged.
