Man injured in accident

A Bloomington man is on life support after an early morning crash involving a moped and an SUV.

Robert Lewellen, 41, is in critical condition at Bloomington Hospital after his red moped struck a Chevrolet Trailblazer on Wednesday morning.

The accident occurred at 5:46 a.m. at the intersection of West Third Street and South Patterson Drive, Bloomington Police Department Lt. David Drake said.

Gary Crohn, 53, of Bloomington, was the driver of the SUV.

According to the accident report, the moped was going east on Third Street and the SUV was going west on Third Street when the SUV turned left in front of the moped. The moped hit the SUV on the right side, Drake said.

Crohn said he did not see a headlight on the moped, Drake said. BPD Sgt. John Kovach, who reconstructs accidents for BPD, examined the moped headlight and determined it was on at the time of the accident. He was able to determine this by examining the filament in the light bulb and found it was burning, Drake said.
