A collision between a moped and pickup truck left the scooter’s rider in critical condition Thursday evening in Las Vegas.

According to local police, the accident took place at the intersection of Desert Inn and Topaz, near Pecos Road, at 5:20 p.m. when the wayward moped slammed into the back of a pickup truck.

The moped rider was immediately transported to Sunrise Hospital with critical injuries, and the driver of the truck, a 46-year-old woman, received minor injuries.

Police shut down Desert Inn Road in both directions between Topaz and Pecos to investigate the crash for almost 5 hours. The circumstances that led to the scooter to crash into the back of the truck are not fully known, nor is it clear who was at fault in the rear-ending.
