All lanes of Route 10 at 4120 Godwin Boulevard have reopened. Official identification has been confirmed, and next of kin has been notified. The deceased motorcyclist has been identified as 30-year-old Wyatt Austin Brill, residing in the 200 block of Bedford Place, Suffolk, Virginia.

On Thursday, January 30, 2025, at around 6:30 PM, a Virginia State trooper tried to pull over a 2016 Harley Davidson motorcycle for speeding—traveling at 100 mph in a 55 mph zone—on Route 10 near Five Mile Road, in Suffolk.

The rider, who remains unidentified, did not stop, initiating a police pursuit. The motorcyclist fled eastbound on Route 10 at a high speed, overtaking vehicles over a double solid line. At 6:33 PM, the trooper lost sight of the motorcycle near Kings Fork Road and ceased the pursuit.

At approximately 6:46 PM, the driver of a 2018 Ford Explorer contacted authorities, stating she was driving westbound on Route 10 when she noticed a motorcycle in her lane attempting to evade police. The motorcycle sideswiped her vehicle on Godwin Boulevard, east of Harrell Drive, and continued down Route 10. The investigating trooper, along with the Suffolk Police Department, searched the area for the fleeing motorist and treated the incident as a hit and run. The driver of the Ford Explorer sustained no injuries.

On January 31, 2025, at approximately 12:42 PM, Suffolk PD informed state police that a body matching the description of the motorcyclist had been discovered at 4120 Godwin Boulevard. The unidentified body was located roughly 25 feet from the roadway, down a 40-foot ravine covered in brush.

Currently, state troopers remain on scene conducting investigations. Efforts are underway to recover both the motorcycle and the body from the ravine while identifying the deceased and notifying the appropriate parties. A further update will be released as more information becomes available.
