Seattle Longboarder killed when he hit a bus.

Chase Anderson, a 19 year old freshman at UW, passed away Friday morning. Chase was riding his longboard down a steep stretch of 45th in the University District early Friday morning when he struck a bus. He was studying for mid-terms late and was just going to get a bite to eat.
Apparently Chase had run a red light and struck the side of the bus. He was then dragged for a while by the bus driver, who was unaware that anything had happened. He was not wearing a helmet.
I mean no disrespect, but I have a feeling that this accident may have been prevented if the proper safety techniques where practiced.
Regardless, a life is lost to soon and my condolences to the family and friends of Chase. Rest in peace.
