A tow truck waits to haul away a moped from the scene of a crash on the Kansas University campus, Thursday, March 10, 2016. The moped driver was taken to a hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries after he was hit by a car near the intersection of West Campus and Stratford roads.

A 21-year-old Kansas University student was hospitalized Thursday afternoon after the moped he was riding was struck by a car near the KU campus.

Sgt. Bronson Star of the Lawrence Police Department said a 19-year-old KU student driving a Volvo struck the moped rider and will be cited for failure to yield on a left turn.

The accident occurred on West Campus Road near Memorial Stadium.

Star said the Volvo was northbound and the moped was southbound when the accident occurred about 1:15 p.m.

Emergency medical technicians were planning to transport the moped rider to a trauma center in either Topeka or Kansas City, Kan., Star said. His injuries were described as nonlife-threatening.
