A Kansas City, Kansas, couple was driving on I-70 eastbound near the Turner Diagonal exit at 6:45 p.m. Aug. 7 when they saw a body on the highway.
The couple’s vehicle swerved to miss the body, then pulled to the shoulder near the woman.
“We thought it was a mannequin,” said a woman in the vehicle about their first reaction. Then the woman on the highway stood up, shaking, and walked to the side of the road where the couple’s vehicle was.
The couple offered the woman a place to sit in the van, while they called 911. The woman told the couple she had been trying to cross I-70 when a vehicle hit her. She had scrapes and injuries, according to the residents who stopped.
