Crap. Here's another hit-and-run. From the paper:
"A 16-year-old skateboarder was hospitalized following a hit-and-run crash in Salem on Saturday night. The driver who fled the scene remains at large, police said.
The male teen was skateboarding near the 700 block of Hawthorne Avenue NE around 10:30 p.m. when he was hit by a car, said Lt. Dave Okada, a Salem police spokesman. The vehicle left the scene, and the teen was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries."
