You're assuming that officers arrived on the scene. Just one story, but a good friend of mine was tandem riding with his wife and on a downhill they had a front tire blow out and wrecked going @25mph. They were badly cut & scraped up and a motorist came by right after it happened and took them to the emergency room. They had enough wits to stash the bike in some bushes. Sounds like something similar could have happened here...
