The renewed call for help seems to indicate that the object may have caused the rider to lose control and crash.

Police are also seeking witnesses who saw his Suzuki or anyone with relevant dashcam footage to contact them.

They believe a box may have been carried “in some fashion” on the bike at the time. We suspect they mean a top box.
