Police have charged two men on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm in connection with a collision in Hastings.
The incident happened in Frederick Road at 2.45pm on Thursday, July 20.
Two teenage boys aged 13 and 14 suffered significant injuries and were taken to hospital, but are no longer in a life-threatening condition.
Following the incident, Dillon Beeching, 23, unemployed of Grand Parade, Eastbourne, and Liam Hide, 21, a retail sales assistant of Ashford Road, Hastings, were arrested and charged with two counts of causing grievous bodily harm.
Beeching was also charged with driving without valid insurance and driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence.
They appeared before Hastings Magistrates’ Court on Saturday, July 22, and were remanded in custody to appear before Lewes Crown Court on August 18.
Officers continue to appeal for any witnesses or anyone with relevant footage to come forward, quoting Operation Glastonbury.
They also remind the public that this is an ongoing investigation, and therefore ask people to refrain speculating about the incident on social media as this would risk prejudicing the case.
