Moped operator critically injured
A 50-year-old Liliha man was critically injured Monday when he apparently fell off his moped on North Kuakini Street near Sereno Street in Nu'uanu. No other vehicles were involved in the 1:07 p.m. accident.
Police said the moped skidded to a stop near a traffic signal for no apparent reason and tipped over. The man, who was not wearing a safety helmet, was taken to The Queen's Medical Center, where he remained in critical condition yesterday, police said.
