Killed in the accident Saturday evening in a north Kansas City neighborhood was 8-year-old Jorden Hale. A six-year-old boy riding on the skateboard with Hale was seriously injured, but has since improved.

Kansas City Police says it happened as the boy’s exited a parking lot at an apartment complex. The mini-van driver told officers they suddenly appeared, and she didn’t have time to stop.
