FHP said the truck turned west onto Moonrise Way, when the 12-year-old boy, who was riding a V6 Pro Electric Skateboard was heading eastbound.
According to the report, the boy entered the path of the truck.
The child was transported to an area hospital where he later died, after being hit by the truck, per FHP.
