A man who was hospitalized last week after being rear-ended by vehicle while he was riding a moped died Thursday from his injuries, Johnson County officials said.

Police said the crash happened when Quentin Leonard, 20, of Bargersville, was riding a moped in the southbound lane of U.S. 31 near State Road 252 in the Edinburgh area.

Investigators said Leonard’s moped was rear-ended by a vehicle in the southbound lanes of U.S. 31., driven by Michael Nitzsche, 42, of Bargersville.

Leonard was hospitalized and died Thursday morning, officials said.

An autopsy was scheduled to determine the cause of death.

Authorities did not say if Nitzsche would face any charges.
