South Simcoe Police are investigating after two teens were struck while illegally riding e-bikes in Innisfil.

According to police, the two youths were hit in the Innisfil Beach Road and Webster Boulevard area around 6 p.m. Friday. The two teenagers were riding the bikes when they failed to stop at a stop sign, police say.

One of the teens was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police have learned through the preliminary investigation that the two youths were not wearing helmets and were not legally permitted to ride the e-bikes due to being under 16.

Police say more details will be released once available.
