The sheriff\'s department said a large crowd surrounded the car, pulled out the driver and a 29-year-old passenger and beat them.
The two 14-year-olds remain hospitalized. The men were taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries, and charges are pending. No one in the crowd has been arrested.
