Loudoun Now, citing court filings, reports that the two 14-year-olds involved in the accident were driving a type of electric dirt bike legally considered to be a motorcycle, meaning it is illegal for someone to drive it without a license. Court filings claim the boys drove into the side of a Nissan Murano that had the right-of-way, blindsiding the driver, the outlet reports.
The bike was smashed to pieces and the boys were left with serious injuries, one with facial injuries and the other with multiple broken bones initially feared to be life-threatening. Both boys were declared stable shortly after the accident.
