A 16-year-old skateboarder who was towing along beside his friend’s car on Garfield was run over and injured today at approximately 5:45 pm. Carlsbad Fire and Police responded to the accident and closed Garfield in both directions from Sycamore to Walnut.
“He was hanging on to the side a friends car and was just about to let go when he fell,” said one witness.
The boy was conscious and appeared to be speaking with the ambulance crew while he was being loaded on to the backboard.
Another bystander reported that he had a serious gash on the back of his head, but didn’t seem to have any other major injuries. “He is okay, he is okay,” she kept saying into her cellphone.

City Council plans to demolish the skatepark to build the police training center but they keep stalling the Alga Norte Park project which includes the new skatepark. With nowhere to skate, there will be more accidents and other problems. Where do the 6 City Council candidates stand on skateboarding?

Colton, do you know Samantha?
I don’t think there’s gonna be a huge increase in the number skate related accidents because a skate park far far far away from the beach gets closed for a while. There’s lots of people skating in the village area and not too much in the way of serious injuries.
