Account

The witness and a companion were driving home through a wooded area after a nighttime research outing when an animal ran across the road in front of their car. The witness braked hard and narrowly avoided hitting it. The animal looked toward the car but kept running across the road into the woods without breaking stride. The witness turned back to the spot and checked for sounds, odor, and tracks but found nothing.
