The witness was driving east on Highway 12 in darkness and heavy rain when headlights illuminated a large hair-covered figure standing beyond the guardrail near the Highway 123 junction. The figure was facing away and briefly turned its head as the vehicle passed within a few seconds. A companion in the vehicle did not see it.
