A pitch black road with roadworks on it. He wasn't even able to find a twig to warn people about the massive lightpole now spread across the road.

At least the dead man can not extorted by the RTP. Oh......I forgot he must have family as well. . The family should sue the construction company and police for not doing their job with a dead person as a result RIP

more likely, one bike hit another with two people on it, and when they realised the guy wasn't moving they stole the bike ! Witnesses just saw aftermath.
