Son, driving with Mom home from Idaho, comes close to hitting Bigfoot on I-84
Account
Two occupants of a car traveling westbound on I-84 at night reported a tall hair-covered biped crossing the freeway in front of their vehicle. They said they missed hitting it by about two feet before it went over the guardrail toward the river side and disappeared into the dark. They called a relative by cell phone shortly afterward to report what had happened.
