Police said the rider left on foot after the crash and was later found near Adams and First streets.

What this crash tells drivers and riders
Scooters and mopeds are common on Plymouth city streets, especially in the evening. They offer little protection in a crash, and riders can be hurt even at low speeds. Riders should wear a helmet and bright or reflective clothing after dark, use lights, and avoid riding after drinking.
Indiana impaired-driving laws apply to scooters and mopeds as they apply to cars. Drivers should also watch carefully for smaller, slower vehicles when turning and at night. Riders seeking general information can review the firm's page about working with a Fort Wayne scooter accident attorney.
What should accident victims do next?
If you are hurt in a crash involving a scooter, moped, or another vehicle, get medical care and keep the related records. Request the crash report from the investigating agency. You can also photograph the scene and any damage, then write down what happened while the details are fresh. The firm's guide explains how to obtain an Indiana crash report.
Review your auto policy for coverage that may apply, including uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Coverage depends on the policy and the facts. Evidence can also disappear or be overwritten, so timely preservation matters. This Indiana crash evidence guide explains the types of records that may be useful.
Why location matters in Indiana injury claims
This crash happened near Plum Street and Adams Street in Plymouth, in Marshall County. A civil case arising there would ordinarily be filed in Marshall County or where a defendant is located.
Most Indiana injury claims must be filed within two years under Ind. Code 34-11-2-4. Indiana's modified comparative fault rule, Ind. Code 34-51-2-6, reduces recovery by a person's share of fault and bars recovery when that person's fault is greater than 50 percent.
If a city street condition were found to contribute to a crash, written notice to the city would generally be due within 180 days under Ind. Code 34-13-3-8. These rules can be fact-specific, and the firm's guide to claims involving an Indiana government entity provides additional background.
