The circumstances of Numata’s accident suggest he was riding his skateboard home in the downtown Erie area shortly after 2 a.m. the morning of Aug. 30, police said.
Surveillance video from an insurance business nearby showed Numata riding alone down East 4th Street when his skateboard suddenly stopped, as if it hit a rock, and he fell forward, Erie police Sgt. David Stucke said on Monday.
“It appears he just fell on the skateboard and landed headfirst on the ground,” Stucke said. “It appears he was unconscious as soon as he fell. He was knocked out.”
A motorist saw Numata in the middle of the road, pulled over and called 911 about 2:15 a.m. Police found him on the ground, bleeding from the head, Stucke said.
