Thieves steal dead biker's motorcycle

Heartless crooks rob dying biker of his machine after serious accident in USA

A FATAL motorcycle crash took a bizarre twist when thieves stole the machine and drove away, leaving the critically injured rider dying at the side of the road.

Virginia police are asking anyone with information about the motorcycle Scott Henry, 26, of Brantford, was riding when it crashed Monday at 3pm on Indian Line in Townsend Township in north Norfolk, Virginia to come forward.

"We don't know where the bike is, the make or model or anything," said Constable Jeff Walraven.

Henry was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries but died soon after arriving. Police said a brown or beige truck stopped at the scene shortly after the crash and a man got out, picked up the motorcycle and drove north along Indian Line. Walraven said he "wouldn't speculate" on whether the motorcycle was stolen.

The investigation is continuing.
