A pair of 20-year-old brothers from La Crosse were injured in a moped crash in the town of Liberty Grove.

The accident occurred Monday shortly after 2 p.m. on State Highway 42 near Europe Bay. One of the brothers lost his hat while riding behind the other and attempted to retrieve it from the roadway before crashing his moped. The lead brother also crashed his moped while looking back at his brother after he went down.

The brother who crashed first suffered injuries to his face and legs and was transported to Door County Medical Center for further treatment. According to the accident report, he was treated and later released from the hospital.

The other brother suffered minor abrasions in the crash but declined additional treatment from paramedics. He later traveled by ambulance to the hospital to support his brother.

Both men were cited for failing to register their mopeds and were warned for not having insurance.

The crash closed one lane of traffic for approximately 20 minutes while the mopeds were removed and the scene was cleared.
