HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow)- Those who knew him said Reid Krucky loved to ride skateboards and snowboards.  He was good at it.

"Being one of the last persons that saw him was kind of hard on me," Sierra Bassett said.

The teenager grew up in the house across from the Krucky's in Hawaii Kai, on the same street where the accident happened Wednesday.  Police said Reid had grabbed onto a friend's moped, was towed about 30 yards, then fell off his skateboard and hit his head on the pavement.  He died at the hospital.

"We knew him when he was little," Carolyn Ohashi said. 

From her home she often would Reid and his older brother, Kyle, playing ball in their driveway.

"I know they were very close.  Kyle will miss him terribly.  We will miss watching them play basketball in front of their house," she said.
