Witness account

Witness was driving north at approximately 45 mph when a bipedal figure crossed the road about 40 metres ahead. Estimated height 2.4 metres, covered in dark hair. The figure did not run. It walked. Witness stopped, engaged hazard lights and observed for roughly 12 seconds before the figure entered the treeline. Witness notes the figure "did not appear to be in a hurry". The dashcam was, regrettably, not recording.
