Boy, 14, in hospital with serious leg injuries after horror e-bike crash in Claremont

A 14-year-old boy is in hospital after colliding with a car while riding his e-bike in Claremont.
Police, St John and a fire crew attended the scene just after 11am on Saturday following the crash on Stirling Highway near Freshwater Parade.
The boy was riding an electric-bicycle on Stirling Highway when he collided with a black Land Rover Defender turning onto Stirling Highway from a carpark opposite the Freshwater Parade intersection.
The teenager suffered serious leg injuries.
He was taken to Perth Children’s Hospital by paramedics under normal road conditions. His injuries are not life-threatening and he is in a stable condition.
The 57-year-old male driver of the vehicle was uninjured and stopped at the scene.
The all-black Land Rover Defender remained on the scene just after lunchtime, along with a wrecked e-bike in shrub nearby.
A single shoe was left upside down on the footpath and rubble that looked to be from the vehicle’s tyres was scattered on the road.
Neighbours believe the boy was trapped under the vehicle for quite some time.
Major crash detectives arrived just after midday.
Police are appealing for any witnesses to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report the information online.
