A skateboarder was flown to a hospital with life-threatening injuries after a crash with a driver early Wednesday morning in Ferguson Township.
The 41-year-old State College man was riding a skateboard at about 6:15 a.m. when he collided with a 2015 Subaru Outback that was traveling eastbound on South Foxpointe Drive approaching Autumnwood Drive, according to township police.
