Police in Council Bluffs say minor injuries were reported Friday, after a moped collided with a vehicle. The accident happened at around 1:45-p.m. near 2nd Avenue and S. 9th Street. Upon officers arrival, they made contact with the driver of the vehicle and asked what happened.

The driver stated the moped pulled off to the side of the road to let traffic go by. After the first vehicle drove by the moped, the moped reentered the roadway without looking and collided with another vehicle. The driver of the moped had minor injuries and was transported to UNMC by the Council Bluffs Fire Department for further medical evaluation.

Authorities say this is a good reminder for drivers to make sure they have plenty of distance before entering the roadway.
