Motorists have daylight sighting near Uniontown

Account

Two people driving on a gravel road around midday saw a hairy biped run across the road about a block ahead near a low-water bridge over a creek. The passenger looked up late and saw it only briefly before it entered the woods, while the driver reportedly got a better look. The witness estimated it at about five feet tall with reddish hair and emphasized its unusual speed.
