Michael Malone http://hendrenmalone.com/?p=2668 A very unfortunate accident on Tuesday has seriously injured a Winterville man who was riding a moped.

The wreck apparently happened when a Greenville police officer struck the moped driver while both were headed in the same direction on the highway.  The moped driver, seventeen year old David Lee Haddock, was transported to the hospital and is in serious condition.

At the time of the story, it is not clear whether the moped had its lights on.  Hopefully, someone will ensure that the moped is properly and quickly analyzed to determine this important fact. For some ideas as to how this is done, click here. For more on this story, click here.
