A tragic incident occurred on Monday in North Dakota, resulting in the death of a 12-year-old boy. According to the Mandan Police Department, the boy crashed his bicycle and suffered a fatal head injury at a skate park in Mandan.
The accident took place after 5 p.m. local time at the Mandan Skate Park, which is located near Mandan High School just outside of Bismarck. Upon receiving a medical call, police rushed to the scene and found the young boy with severe head injuries. He was immediately transported to a nearby hospital but unfortunately succumbed to his injuries.
In respect for his status as a juvenile and due to not wearing a helmet during the incident, authorities have chosen not to release the identity of the victim.
Skateboarding and biking accidents can be dangerous, especially when safety precautions are not taken seriously. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons estimates that these activities lead to approximately 70,000 emergency department visits each year in the United States alone.
