Crash leaves moped driver in critical condition

Moped accident

An accident Tuesday afternoon in the northeast valley sent a moped rider to the hospital with critical injuries, Metro Police said.

Metro spokeswoman Laura Meltzer said a vehicle and a moped collided at 3:09 p.m. at the intersection of Washington Avenue and Mojave Road.

The male riding the moped was transported to University Medical Center’s trauma unit with life-threatening injuries, Meltzer said. The seriousness of the accident has prompted Metro’s fatal unit to respond and investigate, she said.

Police ask motorists to avoid the area while they clear the scene and investigate. Portions of Mojave Road and Washington Avenue are shut down, Meltzer said.
