A former Danville resident suffered what authorities said were life-threatening injuries Saturday night while riding a motor scooter in suburban Philadelphia with his wife.

Dr. Allan Moore, 31, was operating the couple’s 2001 Vespa when it collided with a sport-utility vehicle. He is listed in critical condition in the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania with abdominal and head injuries.

His wife and passenger, Dr. Rebekah Gee, 32, was in fair condition in the same hospital with a broken leg and other injuries.

Rebekah Gee, the only child of Ohio State University President E. Gordon Gee, was seated behind her husband as they traveled on a neighborhood street in Bryn Mawr, Pa., shortly before 7 p.m. Saturday.

Moore entered the intersection of a four-lane street and struck the side of a 2002 Land Rover, according to the Lower Merion, Pa., Police Department. The speed limit at the scene of the accident is 35 mph.

Moore and Gee were flown to the hospital.

The Land Rover’s driver, Paige Stoveld, 21, of Radnor, Pa., was uninjured.

Police could not say whether Moore and Gee were wearing helmets. An investigation was expected to take several weeks.

Moore, the son of Dr. Michael A. Moore and Janet M. Moore, is a fellow in endocrinology and practices internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, where the couple met as medical residents. They married in 2006.

Moore is a 1995 graduate of George Washington High School. His father is the director of medical education at Danville Regional Medical Center.
