Police Sgt. Frank Kemp said the investigation could take a day or two to wrap up.

"Basically (the officers) made contact with them there, but our primary concern is the heath and welfare of the individuals on the bicycle," he said. "And once everything is finished at the hospital, if the officer is still on duty, he may be able to make contact with them today. But most likely they'll have to wait until tomorrow.”
