December 24, 2008 | by CT News Staff

A Virginia Tech student died Saturday from injuries suffered from a skateboarding accident that occurred on campus the previous Monday.

Freshman engineering major Gregory Weiner died at Carilion Roanoke Hospital five days after he had fallen off a skateboard.

Virginia Tech Police Department Assistant Chief Tom Foster told the Roanoke Times that Weiner was not wearing a helmet when he fell off a skateboard going down a hill on Aggie Quad Lane.

The Virginia Tech Police Department would not comment to the Collegiate Times.

Look for a memorial for Greg Weiner when the Collegiate Times comes back Jan. 20, 2009.
