A 19-year-old identified as Gabriel Peters is dead after police say he rode a skateboard into the path of a pickup truck last night in Las Vegas.
Police say the crash happened a little after 10 p.m. on Decatur Boulevard just north of Washington Avenue. Police say the skateboarder was crossing the busy thoroughfare outside a crosswalk, and it looks like the truck driver wasn't at fault.
