WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. — A 12-year-old boy has succumbed to fatal injuries suffered during a Tuesday afternoon crash in Wesley Chapel.
Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) said the "tragic accident" happened just before 5 p.m. on April 21, when a Ford F250, driven by a 45-year-old Wesley Chapel man, was heading northbound on Windstar Circle within the Crosswinds Subdivision. FHP said the truck driver turned west onto Moonrise Way, when his 12-year-old son, who was riding a V6 Pro Electric Skateboard, was heading eastbound.
According to the report, the driver's son entered the path of his truck.
The boy was transported to an area hospital where he later died, after being hit by the truck, per FHP.
FHP confirmed hedges obstructed the view of both the boy and his father.
