A 15-year-old boy remains hospitalized but is recovering and feeling better today after suffering a head injury when the skateboard he was riding careened off Grey Fox Circle in southeast Pleasanton on Thursday night and crashed into a streetlight pole.
He was riding down the hill in the 900 block of Gray Fox Circle around 8:30 p.m. when he lost control and fell, according to Pleasanton police Sgt. Mike Tryphonas.
In an email to the Pleasanton Weekly, Judy Alexander, the grandmother of the skateboarder, praised the quick response of the paramedics and firefighters for rescuing her grandson and rushing him to the hospital.
“I cannot thank you (the first responders) enough for your quick response to get our grandson to the hospital,” she said. “It has been a tough week for all the family but he is getting better slowly. Many thanks for all the prayers and support we have received.”

Let’s see; going down hill, loses control, head injury due to crash into lamp post, grandmother responds; all at night.
No mention of helmut; or time of time, losing more visibility, and doing what the others are doing but at night.
Wonderful combinations of facts. Who put the skateboard in his hands? Grandmother?
Where’s the mom or dad for that matter?
Whose in charge? Seem like the very bright kid with no helmut and plowing downhill at night.
Good that he didnt suffer more damage.
Did he learn anything from this?
Yes Grandma, by all means ‘pray’ for this juvenile, who may be unlikely to achieve his majority without an ample dose of divine intervention.
You’re being a bit tough on the grandmother, Cardinal. From the article it just sounds as though she is graciously thanking other people for their help and best wishes, which some like to call ‘prayers’.
And yes, let us hope the boy wears a helmet in the future.
