William Walter Harmon, 29, of Murfreesboro was seriously injured when the moped he was operating struck a van on the Ahoskie-Cofield Road.
Ahoskie Police Chief Troy Fitzhugh said Harmon was traveling south at around 2:10 p.m. At the same time, a Ford van, operated by Joann Casper Harrell, 64, of Ahoskie, was traveling north.

Harmon was transported by Hertford County EMS toVidantRoanoke-ChowanHospital and then airlifted by EastCare to Greenville.
APD Sgt. Justin Farmer charged Harrell with a safe movement violation.
