Family says AZ teen motorcyclist may have been hit by another vehicle before she died

Annabel Force, a 19-year-old motorcyclist, died on June 8 after losing control and crashing into a median wall on a transition ramp near Phoenix. The Arizona Department of Public Safety confirmed that she fell 80 feet, but no witnesses have been located. Adding to the tragedy, her motorcycle, a black 2022 Yamaha YZF-R7, went missing from the scene, prompting her family to suspect a hit-and-run. Witnesses who contacted Force's wife, Sakura Keiser, reported that the motorcycle appeared "completely beat up," indicating it might have been struck by another vehicle. Keiser expressed urgency for further investigation to uncover the truth behind the crash.

Force, who aspired to be an emergency medical technician, was in Phoenix to bid farewell to a friend when the accident occurred. The family is currently raising funds for a memorial and is seeking information about the circumstances of the crash. The ongoing investigation by DPS aims to clarify the events leading to the tragic incident.
