GOSHEN —
A mo-ped driver was airlifted after a crash Wednesday on Peddler’s Village Road in Goshen.
Injured was Stephen C. Kucela Sr., 65, 73 Brookside Manor.
Goshen police officers were called to the scene of a crash involving a mo-ped and two automobiles at 12:09 p.m. today. The crash took place in the area of 2900 block of Peddler’s Village Road near the entrance to the Peddler’s Auction property.
Witnesses and drivers indicated that a 2000 Volkswagon Beetle driven by Annetta Harrington, 92, 1402 Clover Creek Lane, exited to the west from the private drive of the Peddler’s Auction property and pulled in front of the mo-ped.
