There are serious concerns for Mark’s welfare, as it is believed that he sustained injuries during the collision and he has not been in contact with family or friends since.

Mark is described as being approximately 5ft 8in, of medium build, with short dark hair, and was dressed in a red coat, white t-shirt, jeans and white trainers.

Local policing Inspector Armour said: “On Saturday 31st October, we returned to the Ballybogey Road and spoke with passing drivers, in the hope that they may have been in the area the week before.

"Those we spoke to were really keen to help with our enquiries.

“If you were travelling along the Ballybogey Road that evening and came across the collision between Mark’s vehicle and a grey Nissan Juke, please contact us.

“We also continue to appeal to anyone with relevant dash-cam footage, or any details relating to the collision or Mark’s whereabouts, to come forward.

"Every piece of information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, could help.

“We’d like to thank everyone who has helped so far in our search for Mark.

"We continue to work alongside voluntary search and rescue partners, and members of the public have assisted with the search by checking outbuildings, sheds and unoccupied buildings.

"Mark’s family are so appreciative of every single person who has come to their aid.”

Anyone with information should contact police on 101, quoting reference number 431 of 25/10/26.
