A teenage boy was taken to hospital in the early hours of this morning after the e-bike he was riding was hit by a car.
The 15-year-old was riding through Preston Circus when the crash happened at about 3.20am.
The driver of the car was not injured.
Police have launched an investigation into the crash. Witnesses or anyone with information is asked to report it to Sussex Police online or call 101 and quote serial 134 of 17/04.
What’s a 15 year old doing riding around at 3AM?
That’s the real question here.
Was it a legal pedal-assist e-bike or an illegal e-moped that doesn’t require any pedalling? Clarification would help stop the spread of misdirected criticism of pedal-assist e-bikes.
Who cares, get that 15 year old off the road at 3am,
