Moped driver injured in two-vehicle crash
A 57-year-old Brussels man was seriously injured and received two citations for an accident involving his moped with another driver last week. The accident occurred on May 13th in the Town of Brussels at approximately 6:45 p.m. when the man was traveling east on County Road DK near Brussels Road. The man was attempting to turn left from the right shoulder when he was struck by another vehicle, driven by an 83-year-old Brussels man. The moped driver said his turn signal was on when he tried turning in front of the car so he could stop by and say hi to some kids in the yard. However, the responding deputy noted in his report that the moped should have been driving in the roadway, not the shoulder, which is meant for emergencies and stopping only. The moped driver was taken to a Green Bay hospital to be treated for his serious injuries. He was also cited for an improper turn from a non-travel lane and driving on an expired registration.
