So basicly the police were chasing him and he crashed it am I reading that wrong ?? As it says they were near him and there investigating ?
Or was nicked and tried to get away before the police chase
Short time ? It was still closed at 6:45pm when I went past and the recovery truck was still there with the bike on it.
Was it a blue bike
