This is very sad, and happened just off greek row at University of Washington, just a block or so away from the FIJI house. The victim is also a recent grad of my high school, as are I think several of his brothers in the fraternity. I hope his family, friends, the witnesses and the poor bus driver will all be OK.

A young man riding his skateboard in the street in the University District died early this morning after he collided with a Metro bus, police said.
The crash occurred about 1:20 a.m. when a bus, traveling south on University Way Northeast, crossed paths with the 19-year-old victim who was headed west on Northeast 45th Street, police said. The bus had a green light, Seattle police spokeswoman Reneé Witt.
The skateboarder ran into the side of the bus and fell under the rear wheels, she said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The victim, Chase Anderson, of Bellevue, was a business major at the University of Washington and on the dean's list this year.
