It was confirmed that one of the young males' parents were aware of the accident and were on their way to Ipswich Hospital, where both of them had been taken.
A woman who lived on the road, who did not want to be named, said she was alerted by a loud noise, and went out and held one of the biker's hands until the ambulance arrived.
She said he had told her they were both 16 and had just left school.
A policeman at the scene said: “A driver of a car has been arrested and taken to Bury St. Edmunds police station, for no other reason than Ipswich is full.”
An ambulance spokesman said a further vehicle was required to support the incident after the initial call came in at 5.55pm.
