Motorists slam on brakes - creature standing in middle of road

Account
After finishing night work, the witness was driving south on Highway 95 when the car ahead braked for something standing on the centerline. After a northbound semi flashed its bright lights, the witness watched a huge, hairy two-legged figure run off the road and then dash back across the highway in front of the semi toward a canal. The other vehicles sped away, and the frightened witness drove home and locked the house.
