Amherstburg Police are investigating after a man on a skateboard was hit and killed by a car. It happened around 7am, police were called to a collision on County Rd. 18 between Meloche Rd. and Concession 4 Rd. S. When officers arrived, they found a pedestrian who had been struck by a car.
A 30-year-old Amherstburg man was pronounced dead at the scene. The 23-year-old Amherstburg man driving the car was also taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
There's no word if charges will be laid as police continue to investigate but low visibility in this morning's foggy conditions are believed to be a factor.
County Rd. 18 was shutdown for several hours but has since reopened.
Constable Steve Owen says they're still investigating the circumstances leading up to the crash. No name has been released as police are trying to make contact with next of kin.
