The witness was driving north on a highway at night approaching a lit intersection. A tall dark figure emerged from the roadside ditch, approached the car in one stride, and stared at the witness. The witness continued to the stop sign, saw the figure standing in the middle of the road in the rearview mirror, and drove on without stopping.
