Two 15-year-old e-bike riders are reported to be involved in a crash in Thornaby, Teesside, on January 31, after videos show them speeding and doing wheelies before they smash into a man. The man, described as the father of seven, sustains life-changing injuries, according to the report.
The account is based on CCTV footage. Both outlets describe the riders as wearing balaclavas and riding Sur-Ron e-bikes at speed on public roads, with the footage capturing their movements immediately before the collision. The reporting focuses on the circumstances leading up to the impact—namely the alleged joyriding behavior on public streets—while providing limited additional detail about the investigation or any legal proceedings in the available text.
No other outlets with differing claims are included in the provided material, so this synthesis reflects only the shared elements described in the referenced reporting: the date, location, ages, type of e-bike, and the fact that the collision causes severe injuries to the victim.
