JOLIET (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - A woman is in critical condition after being hit by a car while riding on a moped in Joliet Thursday morning.

Police said the 33-year-old woman was riding a moped west on Theodore Street when, at about 5:30 a.m., she lost control and fell to the ground.  That's when she was struck by a Jeep and was dragged about a mile down the street.


Police said the Jeep driver told them she didn't realize she'd hit a person and only discovered the woman after she stopped the vehicle.

The investigation is ongoing.
