The second motorcycle, which was behind the first motorcycle that crashed, also crashed, leaving another two teens injured.

Police were contacted for assistance after midnight, after an ambulance had rushed the four teens to hospital.

Three of the injured teens recovered after being attended to by the ambulance service, while one of the two motorcycle drivers was admitted.
