Two teenage boys have been taken to hospital in serious conditions following an e-bike crash in the state’s north overnight.
About 8.30pm yesterday (Sunday 29 March 2026), emergency services were called to the intersection of the Pacific Highway and Evans Street, Belmont, following reports of a crash.
Officers attached to Lake Macquarie Police District attended and were told an e-bike had collided with the side of a Holden station wagon causing the rider and passenger to be thrown off the vehicle.
The rider and passenger – both 14-year-old boys – were treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics for leg and abrasion injuries before being taken to John Hunter Hospital in serious but stable conditions.
The Holden driver – a 45-year-old man – was uninjured.
Police have commenced an investigation into the incident with officers seizing the e-bike – which was destroyed on impact – for forensic examination.
