A severed human penis discovered in an Alabama gas station parking lot is believed to have belonged to a motorcyclist who died in a traffic accident early Monday, authorities said.
The fatal accident happened around 6 a.m. Monday in the eastbound lanes of I-10 between I-65 and Dauphin Island Parkway near Mobile, the Mobile Police Department confirmed to FOX News Digital.
"The deceased was riding a motorcycle and lost control and fell off," a police spokesperson said. "Unfortunately, multiple vehicles struck him."
"The appendage located at the gas station is not related to a murder or an assault," the spokesperson said.
