The incident took place Sept. 25 on South King Street near the intersection of Alapai Street shortly before 4:30 p.m. Police said a woman was riding a moped eastbound on South King Street when she was sideswiped by a vehicle whose driver was trying to change lanes.
The moped rider, a 42-year-old woman, was ejected onto the roadway and taken to an area hospital, where she was listed in serious condition. The rider was wearing a helmet at the time she was struck. The unidentified motorist kept going east on South King Street after the collision without stopping to help or provide any information.
