A FRENCH tourist is dead after a daring downhill skateboard ride went horribly wrong at Alexandra Headland yesterday.
Thomas Debois, 24, suffered serious head injuries in a fall on Pacific Terrace about 3.15am.
Traffic on the well-used connector road was brought to a standstill while a group of people, believed to be friends of the dead man, tried to help him.
Mr Debois had lost a large amount of blood by the time the ambulance arrived and died three hours later in Nambour Hospital while staff were trying to stabilise him for an emergency trip to Royal Brisbane Hospital.
