On Thursday night, a tragic accident claimed the life of a young moped rider.  The accident happened around 9:15 pm at the intersection of Maple Avenue and Albany Street.

According to reported information, a man driving a car without a licenses turned directly into the path of the moped rider, Kendall Walters of Burlington.  The driver of the car has been charged with misdemeanor death by motor vehicle and driving without a license.  Read more about this tragic moped accident.

This accident is another example of automobile drivers failing to pay attention to moped and motorcycle riders.  This case is very similar to a case we are working on now involving a Raleigh man who was killed when a bus turned into his path.  Hopefully, the driver of the car has significant insurance but the fact that he was driving without a license is concerning.
