SALEM, N.H. (WHDH) - Police are investigating after a skateboarder was struck and injured by a car in Salem, New Hampshire on Thursday.
Emergency crews responding to the scene on Shadow Lake Road around 3 p.m. found a 15-year-old boy suffering from serious but non-life-threatening injuries, according to the Salem Fire Department.
The teen’s friends say he gained too much speed on a sloped road and could not stop before crossing into oncoming traffic.
At that time, a truck passed struck the boy and threw him into the air and up onto the windshield.
He was airlifted to UMass Medical Center in Worcester, where he underwent surgery for a broken pelvis and head trauma.
He is expected to be OK.
Video from Sky7 showed police markers in the area and a skateboard that appeared to be snapped in half.
The driver of the truck was placed under arrest.
It is not clear what charges they are facing.
