The report says the crash occurred as the trooper – a 37-year-old Jefferson City man — tried making a left turn and a Zhejiang Dongpai moped travelled across the road. The moped was driven by a 59-year-old Jefferson City man.

The 59-year-old man was not wearing a helmet and he was brought to University Hospital by ambulance after suffering serious injuries, the report says.
