Hit and run on O’Connor leaves moped rider critically hurt

A moped rider believed to be in his 50s is fighting for his life Wednesday after he was struck by a vehicle that fled the scene at O’Connor Drive and Woodbine Ave. The incident occurred during the noon hour. The term moped originally referred to a type of small motorcycle with both a motorcycle engine and bicycle pedals, generally having a less stringent licensing requirement than full motorcycles or automobiles. The term is now often used to mean a similar ele4ctric vehicle except with no pedals.
