Montana officials say a 20-year-old man has died after slamming into a tree while skateboarding alone.
Sgt. Tony Rio of the Missoula County Sheriff's Department says the man was skateboarding with a group of friends along a road Friday night and stayed behind when they left. When the man missed a wedding the next day, the friends called emergency workers.
Deputies found the man's body by the side of the road and determined he died sometime Friday night after crashing into a tree.
The man, who was not immediately identified, wasn't wearing a helmet or other protective gear.
