Account

The witness was driving south on Interstate-5 at Rice Hill in the early morning in light rain when headlights illuminated a figure crouched by the guard rail. The figure stood up, took a step or two, jumped the guard rail, and went down the embankment. The witness pulled over downhill, waited about five minutes, then continued without searching on foot.
