The rider of the bike, a 14-year-old male youth, was taken to Dr Gray’s Hospital in Elgin with serious injuries and his condition is described as stable.
The driver of the Mokka, a 54-year-old man, was also taken to the same hospital with serious injuries with his condition described as critical but stable.
Nobody else was injured in the incident and the road was closed in order for crash investigation work to be carried out.
Sergeant Iain Nicolson said: “Our thoughts are very much with the families and friends of the two teenagers who died and they need privacy at what is a very upsetting and difficult time for all.
“Our investigation into the crash is ongoing and we are appealing to anyone who has not already spoken to officers and who has any information to help with our enquiries.
“If you have dash-cam or anything else that could assist officers then please get in touch.”
Anyone who can help is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 3247 of Monday, March 25.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
