A man who was injured in a collision while riding his moped in Lakeville has died, authorities said Tuesday.

Dwayne M. Anderson, 32, of Rosemount was involved in a wreck with a minivan on Nov. 9 and died last Thursday at HCMC in Minneapolis, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office said.

Anderson was northbound on Fairhill Avenue about 1 a.m., when he crossed in front of the minivan as it headed east on 170th Street and had the right of way, police said. Anderson did not have on a helmet, police added.

"Dwayne passed by doing one of the many hobbies that he loved, riding a minibike," Anderson's online obituary read. "He enjoyed working on small engines and getting satisfaction of making something that wouldn't run and getting it to work perfectly."
