A operator of a Moped was injured Thursday evening, when he was hit by a pickup truck, in Creston. Police in Creston say 31-year old Jesse Daniel Meggison, of Creston, was transported by EMS ambulance to the Greater Regional Medical Center, for treatment of suspected serious and/or incapacitating injuries. The accident happened at around 6:15-p.m. at the intersection of W. Union and S. Elm Streets.

Authorities say the Moped was stopped at the stop sign on Union Street, while a 2013 Ford F-150 pickup driven by 62-year old Rebecca Joanne Barrans, of Lenox, was traveling north on Elm.  Barrans noticed there was a line of cars that were stopped and waiting for the railroad crossing arms to raise, ahead of her. Meggison wanted to turn west onto Union Street. He proceeded to travel north on the opposite side of the road and attempted to turn left, onto Union Street.

Barrans said she did not see the Moped, and hit the left side of the machine with the left side of her pickup. Meggison told authorities he was thrown off his Moped, which sustained about $300 damage. The pickup sustained minor damage (amounting to about $50). No citations were issued.
