Two online fundraising appeals have so far raised more than £2,000 for two teenagers who were injured in a crash in Harrogate.
The 15-year-old boys, Reuben and Fraser, were taken to hospital when a van collided with a wall on Yew Tree Lane last Thursday.
Lorraine Mitchell, a friend of both teenagers’ parents, set up a GoFundMe page following the crash.
The boys, both pupils at Rossett School, were walking along Yew Tree Lane and were left with serious injuries.
So far, the page has raised £1,090.
Ms Mitchell, who spoke to the Stray Ferret about the campaign, said the money would help the teenagers’ parents be with them during their recovery. She said:
“We were all shocked and incredibly saddened by the crash and know this support will be gratefully received by both families.”

Meanwhile, Julie Mills, of Ainsty Road in Harrogate, also set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for the families of the two teenagers.
Posting on the fundraiser, Ms Mills said:
“The families of these young boys are going to need all the help and support at this terrible time.”
At the time of writing, the campaign has generated £1,319.
North Yorkshire Police confirmed this morning that no arrests or charges had been made in relation to the incident.
