UPDATED: Skateboarder severely injured in Pasadena crash

A man suffered severe injuries after colliding with two cars at a major Pasadena intersection Wednesday, authorities said.
The crash took place about 3:45 p.m. on Marengo Avenue at Washington Boulevard, Pasadena police Lt. John Dewar said.
The skateboarder, estimated to be in his 20s, was taken to a hospital in “very serious condition,” Sgt. John Luna said.
Officials had not yet determined his identity late Wednesday afternoon as remained hospitalized in an intensive care unit, Lt. John Dewar said.
Both drivers involved in the incident remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators, Dewar said. No arrests or citations were made at the scene.
Initial investigation indicated the skateboarder was heading south along Marengo Avenue down a steep hill just prior to the collision, Dewar said. “He didn’t stop for the intersection.”
The skateboarder went into the street and struck the side of two vehicles that were traveling on Washington Avenue, Dewar said.
Investigators shut down the intersection as they investigated the scene.
