Two Teenage Boys In Hospital Following St Leonards Motorbike Crash

Police are appealing for witnesses after two teenagers were seriously injured in a traffic collision.

Officers in a police car became aware of a motorcycle in the St Leonards area shortly after 1.30pm on Friday, June 28.

It immediately made off at speed, before it collided with a number of other vehicles in London Road. The bike was later confirmed to be stolen.

The rider and passenger – both boys aged 15 and 17, from the local area – were taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.

A section of London Road in St Leonards was closed as officers responded to the scene - motorists were diverted to other routes.

Anyone who witnessed the collision or the vehicle being ridden in the area around the time, specifically anyone with mobile, dash cam or CCTV footage, is asked to come forward.
