A teen died after crashing a moped in a Provo church parking lot, police reported Tuesday.
The crash happened Friday night in the parking lot of a young single adult ward building of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 350 N. 900 East, Provo.
Provo police tweeted that the teen fell off his moped. He was transported to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center, and died from his injuries. Police said medical personnel were able to keep him alive long enough for his family to say goodbye.
