A motorcycle driver was seriously injured after being hit by a rock thrown by teens on a Sudbury, Ont., road, said police.

Sudbury police said in a news release they received a call Wednesday afternoon that teens were reportedly throwing rocks on Maley Drive.

Paramedics brought the motorcycle driver to the Health Sciences North hospital, where they are being treated for "significant injuries."

Police said they have not yet identified the teens responsible for throwing the rocks.

Witnesses described them as two males:

• One had shoulder-length red hair, freckles and was wearing a black hoodie and black jogging pants.
• The other teen was wearing a white or grey hoodie at the time of the incident.

Police said the investigation is ongoing.
