Two Teens in Critical Condition After Electric Bike Smash in Hove
Two teenage boys are fighting for their lives following a horrific crash between their electric bike and a car in Hove, Sussex. Sussex Police have launched an urgent appeal for witnesses and any dashcam or phone footage to crack the case.
Horror Collision on Sackville Road
The terrifying smash happened just after 3pm on Thursday, 16 October, near the junction with Blatchington Road. The two boys, aged 15 and 16, were riding together on an electric bike when they collided with a car.
The 15-year-old remains in hospital with life-threatening injuries. His 16-year-old friend suffered a serious leg injury and is also receiving treatment. The car driver escaped unscathed. No arrests have been made yet.
Police Issue Urgent Call for Dashcam and Witnesses
Sussex Police are desperate for any dashcam, CCTV, or mobile phone footage showing the crash or what happened beforehand. Officers want to hear from anyone nearby—whether on foot, driving, or passing through—who might have seen the incident.
“Any detail, no matter how small, could help reconstruct what happened,” said Sussex Police.
