UPDATE: Collision at Delridge/Trenton sends 2 to hospital

3:53 PM: At Delridge/Trenton, SFD is evaluating one person reported injured in what was described over the air as a collision between a vehicle driver and “moped” rider. Buses are being rerouted. Avoid the area for a while.

4:18 PM: Thanks to B for the photos.

Per SFD radio, two people are being taken to the hospital, one via medic unit, one via private ambulance. B says both were from the “moped.” The scene is clearing and Metro says buses are returning to regular routing; we’ll be following up with SFD.

5:13 PM: SFD spokesperson Kaila Lafferty confirms that both people taken to the hospital were on the two-wheeled vehicle – “~23-year-old male in stable condition, ~24-year-old male in serious condition.”

I didn’t see it but heard it. Two people (from the moped) being taken away by ambulance. One bleeding from the mouth, one for the most part worse and immobilized. Driver stayed at scene. Scene is clearing up.

Thanks, and thanks for the photos (adding one shortly). Just heard via radio that one is going by SFD medic, the other by AMR ambulance (usually for lesser injuries). Looking at the pic of the bike, that’s not what I would call a “moped,” which is why I put it in quotation marks … that used to be name for what would these days be an “e-bike” …

  It is known as a Scooter, could be of any make. It all started with brands like Vespa in Europe long ago.

Any details on the cause? Were they struck in the bike lane?

If you’re referring to the second photo, the motorcycle was moved to the side. But I don’t have access to cause info, only conditions (which I’m adding).

Sorry, comment time is over.
