16-year-old boy charged with dangerous driving on A21 at John's Cross

A 16-year-old boy has been charged in relation to a serious collision that happened on the A21 at John's Cross on 16 March.

The boy, from St Leonards-on-Sea, who cannot be named due to his age, has been charged with three counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, driving without a licence and driving without insurance.

A Jaguar F-type car collided with the rear of a Mini Clubman, and then head-on with an Audi A3.

The three occupants of the Audi suffered serious injuries, and the Mini driver suffered minor injuries.

The Jaguar had been involved in a pursuit with police before the collision. This was referred to the Independent Office of Police Conduct (IOPC) as is standard practice in these matters.

The boy has been bailed to appear at Hastings Youth Court on 18 September.
