A recent graduate from Castle High School died in a skateboarding accident Tuesday.

Alan Danielson was “skitching,” which is when someone on a bicycle, roller skates, or, in this case, a skateboard, holds on to a moving vehicle.

A case for negligent homicide has been opened by traffic investigators because Danielson’s death involved a car. The driver has not been arrested.

The moral of this story is: Skitching is not safe. It may seem like cool, but it is not something worth risking your life over. Skitching should be left to movies and video games.
