A 9-year-old boy who was being pulled by a van while riding his
skateboard died Sunday, June 25, in Dana Point after he fell under the vehicle, authorities said. Deputies were called at 5:49 p.m. to Puerto Place, a road near a parking lot for Doheny State Beach. When they arrived, they learned that a 21-year-old woman was driving the van while the boy, who is her brother, and a friend were holding on to it while riding skateboards, said Orange County Sheriff’s Sgt. Rich Himmel. The 9-year-old, who lives in Dana Point, was holding on to the driver’s window when he lost control of the skateboard. He fell under the left back wheel of the van and suffered severe injuries. He was pronounced dead at Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo at 6:47 p.m. Sunday. The Orange County coroner identified the boy Monday as Nathan Smith. He would have turned 10 on July 18. No charges have been filed in the incident. A GoFundMe account has been set up to help the family pay for funeral expenses.
