The motorized two-wheeler ran over him on the protected passage when he had not seen it.
A 68-year-old resident of Meaux is between life and death after being run over on Monday in the middle of the day by a moped in Meaux.
It is around 1:10 pm when this Meldois enters a protected passage to cross the quai Victor-Hugo while the pedestrian light is green.
The driver of a car coming from the Pont du Marché for whom the light is also green stops to let it pass but the driver of a 50 cc motorized two-wheeler, which also arrives from the city center and which turns also left at the traffic light, do not see it and hit it.

Hit hard, the 60-year-old lost consciousness.
Suffering from cranial and thoracic trauma, he was admitted to the emergency room of Henri Mondor hospital in Créteil (Val-de-Marne) with a vital prognosis.
In order to intervene as close as possible to the site of the accident, a Civil Security helicopter landed in the middle of the four traffic lanes of the Victor-Hugo quay.
Before the arrival until after the departure of the red and yellow EC 145 aircraft, traffic was cut off on the quai Victor-Hugo, the central axis of the right bank of Meaux, causing major disruptions in the crossing of Meaux.
The blood alcohol tests and the motorcyclist, also Meldois and 32 years old, were negative.
The latter explains that the car had hampered his visibility.
Already in January 2020, an octogenarian living in Meaux was seriously injured after being run over by a motorist who had fled at avenue Aristide-Briand.
Although her prognosis was initially committed, she had survived but suffered from several broken ribs, a double fracture in one leg and a subdural hematoma after being thrown into the air by the violence of the shock.
