The molecular gas surrounding an HII region is thought to be a place where star formation can be induced. One of the main questions in the study of star formation is how protostars accrete material from their parent molecular clouds and observations of infall motions are needed to provide direct evidence for accretion. This poster will present an analysis of submm spectroscopic observations of the submm/infrared source IRAS 01202+6133 located on the periphery of the HII region KR 120. HCO+(J=3-2) spectra of this source show a classic blue-dominated double-peaked profile indicative of infall motions that would be expected to occur in the envelope surrounding a young protostellar object. The HCO+ spectrum toward the core was fitted using models incorporating both outflow and infall components along with basic assumptions regarding excitation temperature trends within molecular cloud cores. Using the models, we derive physical properties of the infall kinematics and the envelope structure.
