Customers wandering into the gas station on Interstate 10 in Mobile were horrified to find the rogue appendage. However, they soon recollected it could belong to 29-year-old Christopher Means, who lost his life a few days ago in a crash that occurred around the same area.

Who was Christopher Means?

Christopher Means was a 29-year-old man riding his bike near eastbound I-10 between I-65 and Dauphin Island Parkway when he suddenly lost control before being struck by several vehicles with only "one driver" remaining at the scene. Law enforcement responded to the crash around 6 am on Monday, January 30, and pronounced him at the scene, according to the Mobile Police Department.

"The preliminary investigation revealed that the victim was riding his motorcycle Southbound on the I-65 ramp to Eastbound I-10 when he lost control of the motorcycle," according to a police statement, reported by Daily Mail. The statement claimed, "The rider was thrown from his motorcycle and struck by multiple vehicles." Following the fatal crash, the I-10 eastbound lanes were shut down for hours, after the four separate crashes with MPD saying they are looking for the drivers who unknowingly ran over Means' body and did not stop.

However, MPD spoke of the recent bizarre discovery and said they will not be investigating it as murder or assault after they believe it could be connected to the tragic accident of Means. Simultaneously MPD said they will be investigating how the motorcyclist lost control.

'Dude was literally torn to pieces'

Onlookers took to social media to explain the gut-wrenching discovery. One user, who claimed to have been a colleague of the man who died, wrote, "In possibly one of the craziest most f***ed up things I've ever heard, a severed penis was found at a gas station in my town yesterday. It belonged to the victim of a horrific motorcycle accident who also happened to work where I work," reported the source. The same user added further, "The dude was literally torn to pieces on the interstate during the accident and his penis fell off the front end of a truck when the truck got off the interstate. What the f***." Another user claimed, "My mouth was literally hanging open the entire time. I can’t believe multiple people hit him but only one person stopped. Holy s***."
