Two teens were hurt when their Suzuki dirt bikes slammed into an SUV in the Forsythia Gate section of Middletown Wednesday night, according to Phillyburbs.com.
The two teens - both were not wearing protective helmets - were thrown from their dirt bike and suffered several injuries, the website reported.
Rain Lily Road and Forsythia Drive South was the reported location of the accident.
Calls by Patch for more information from police were not returned Thursday.
The operation of dirt bikes is illegal on township streets and some residents find it to be a growing problem. Dirt bikes have been spotted in the past on private property and the roads near Playwicki Park in Middletown.
Police in Bristol, Philadelphia and Trenton also often respond to calls for dirt bikes on public streets.

Ppl complain they're too fat or they don't play outside....dirt bikes are fun! I'd rather see my kid on a dirt bike then hanging on the corner smoking or vandalizing something.... smh.....remember when you were young" - Stephanie Nicolette "too many in Golden ridge area" - Scott Benoit "Had one run thru a stop sign as I was making a left in Snowball Gate. Kid didn't even attempt to slow down. There's clearly a problem when the dirt bikes are being used as transportation rather than some good old dirty fun." - Todd Miller
