Fundraising appeals set up for Rossett students injured in Harrogate crash
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:
