EVERETT — A fund has been set up to help defray medical costs for the 15-year-old Everett boy hurt in a skateboarding accident Tuesday.

AC Thomson remained in critical condition Friday in intensive care at a Seattle hospital, officials said.

On Tuesday afternoon, he was being towed by a pickup when he apparently hit a manhole cover and fell. He was run over by the truck.

The boy was unconscious when he was taken by helicopter to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he has been treated for several days.

Police continue to investigate.

Donations can be made to the AC Thomson Hurt Fund at any Frontier Bank.
