Account

A deputy sheriff driving north on U.S. 95 well after dark en route to an accident scene saw a large hairy biped cross the road in front of his car. The animal came up one embankment, crossed in a few seconds, went up the steep opposite bank and disappeared into brush. The deputy described dark fur, upright walking, broad build, and eyes reflecting headlights.
