A KAMIKAZE skateboarder spotted speeding down a hill and crashing into cars is being warned to wise up by a Worcester woman.

Worried Summer Jones said one schoolboy had been seen tearing down Bow Hill in Callow End before ploughing into oncoming traffic.

A gang of six youngsters regularly skateboarded down the middle of the road, she said, but she fears one will end up hurting themselves badly.

"One teenager was coming down the hill and a car came round the corner - he went smack into it," said the 23-year-old.

"A friend of mine saw it happen.

"The kid got up off the road, picked his skateboard up and went back up the hill."

Miss Jones, who works as a dispensary technician at DG Pharmacy, Dines Green, said the youngsters showed no fear.

"Bow Hill is perfect for them to skate down," she said.

"I see them whizzing down the hill from my living room every night.

"Apparently, children have crashed into cars quite a few times round here."

Miss Jones, who lives at the top of Bow Hill, said the skateboarding had got worse over the summer holidays.

"I don't think they realise how silly they're being," she said.

"They don't have any fear."

Councillor Margaret Layland, a health care assistant at DG Pharmacy, warned skateboarders to think of the grief an accident would cause.

"It isn't just the upset caused to the skateboarder and his family, you have to think of the car driver and the shock they would feel," she said.
