Account

While driving on I-64 at dusk, the witness saw a hair-covered figure run through heavy traffic and across the median without slowing. The figure paused to avoid a log truck, allowing a close view, then sprinted across the remaining lanes into the woods. The passenger also watched the figure run up the hill through the woods.
