Yes. Not surprising. I don’t see many skateboarders in wintertime.
I wonder whether I should put this on the “pedestrians killed” map.

Leaving the car you used for a hit & run seems like the stupidest of both worlds. Going to be a lot harder to find a black SUV than find the owner of a specific abandoned one. What a tragedy.
Feels more like cyclists killed, if you’re thinking about where to put the update.

jeather, the car was either stolen or the driver was under the influence but still savvy enough to dump it and get away until they could sober up.

jeather, I think you’re right. Thank you.
