WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Wichita teenager who was hurt when he fell off a skateboard has died.

Wichita police said Thursday that a 15-year-old boy died from injuries he suffered Sunday. His name has not been released.

Officer Charley Davidson previously said the boy fell off his skateboard and hit his head on the ground near Edgemoor Park.

The boy was found lying in the street and was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
