A 13-year-old girl is fighting for life after the e-bike she was riding collided with an SUV in regional Victoria.
Police say a black Nissan X trail crashed with an e-bike on Urquhart St in Castlemaine, about 130km northwest of Melbourne, at 5.30pm on Monday.
Two youths, a 13-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy, were riding the e-bike at the time.
The girl was airlifted to hospital with life-threatening injuries while the boy was also hospitalised but with non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the Nissan stopped at the scene and police are continuitng to investigate what happened.
In Victoria, people of any age can ride an e-bike without a licence.
NSW is looking to ban children from riding e-bikes by the end of the year.
A review is currently being done by Transport for NSW which will recommend a legal minimum age between 12 and 16.
Anyone who witnessed the crash in Castlemaine or has any CCTV/dashcam footage has been urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
