WARSAW — Police believe another vehicle hit a moped on Friday, Sept. 30, causing it to wreck.

That’s according to a Kosciusko County Sheriff’s office accident report.

The wreck occurred at 4:58 p.m. Friday on West Levi Lee Road west of West Edgewood Drive, Warsaw. A passer-by found David A. Rangel, 73, North Allen Lane, Warsaw, facedown in a ditch in that area. His moped was nearby.

Rangel said he didn’t remember what happened or where he was going. He’d been wearing a helmet and had minor bleeding on his head.

Lutheran EMS transported Rangel by ambulance to Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne as a precaution.

Police believe that Rangel was traveling westbound on Levi Lee Road when the other vehicle hit the back of his moped, causing it to go off the roadway and flip.

The investigation is ongoing. Assisting at Friday’s scene was the Claypool Police Department.
