A 12-year-old Raleigh County boy was killed early Saturday morning when he was struck by a police cruiser while he was skateboarding, police said.
Curtis Dwayne Webb, of Dickenson Avenue in Beckley, was struck while riding his skateboard about 12:05 a.m., according to a press release from West Virginia State Police Sgt. D.L. Bowles.
The police cruiser was traveling southbound on W.Va. 16 in Crab Orchard and operated by Trooper H.D. Stone of the Beckley detachment, the release said.
Preliminary investigations suggest Webb was riding the skateboard in the road, the release said.
Police were not available to comment any further on the investigation
