83-year-old Maryann Slettehaugh was struck by a 17-year-old kid on a skateboard Tuesday afternoon as she crossed a street in downtown Capitola, just south of Santa Cruz. Police say the kid, who was not arrested and whose name has not been released, was going about 15 to 20 mph when he struck Slettehaugh in a crosswalk. As the Examiner reports, she was airlifted to a hospital, where she later died.

The Santa Cruz Sentinel reports that the teen passed several cars waiting at an intersection and attempted to jump off his skateboard to avoid hitting her. She was only steps from the sidewalk when the collision occurred.
