Account

While driving east on the interstate at night in rain, the occupants of a car and surrounding traffic slowed for a tall dark figure running on and across the highway. The witness viewed the figure at close range from the passenger window and described eye contact and an expression of fear before it struck an oncoming pickup camper, ran up an embankment, and entered the trees.
