A 21-year-old man was injured Sunday when the moped he was operating struck a minivan in Kaneohe.
According to police, the man was riding the moped between a row of parked cars and a lane of cars stopped at a traffic light when he attempted to enter the lane of traffic and hit the side of a Dodge Caravan driven by a 34-year-old woman.
The moped then collided with a curb.
The man was transported in critical condition to The Queen’s Medical Center.
Police said excessive speed may have been a factor in the incident. Drugs and alcohol do not appear to be factors, they said.
