Heads turned on the 405 Freeway in Orange County on Tuesday morning as motorists saw a man skateboarding along the shoulder during rush hour after he ran out of gas.
Motorists began calling the California Highway Patrol about 8:15 a.m. with reports that a man was skateboarding on the right shoulder of the southbound freeway near Red Hill Avenue in Tustin, said CHP Officer Denise Quesada.
Officers and the freeway service patrol were able to give the skateboarder enough gas to restart his car. He was not cited.
“This is very unusual,” Quesada said. “Usually people walk off the freeway or use their cellphone and ask for a towing service.”
