One injured in moped accident

Minor injuries were reported following a two vehicle accident on Maple Avenue and Oak Avenue in the Town of Richmond on July 21.

The crash involved a moped and an automobile. According to Lt. Jon Blaskowski, that moped that was being operated by a 39-year-old male from Shawano ran through a stop sign after the moped’s brakes had failed. The operator then jumped off of the moped. The moped then struck a vehicle.

The operator of the moped was not seriously injured and was treated with minor injuries, said Blaskowski.
