A dashcam caught the moment a frightened driver came across three people in the middle of a highway late at night.
Just before 11 p.m. on Monday, the video was taken close to Meelon, which is located 105 kilometres south of Perth.
It shows the motorist approaching a bright light before two guys are seen pulling a third person lying in the centre of the road.
The motorist was startled, veered to avoid colliding with the group, and stopped as soon as he was clear of them.
Hundreds of commentators expressed amazement over the trio’s negligence and questioned whether the motorist was wounded.
‘That could so easily have been three people squashed,’ one said.
‘Did the other car hit that guy?’ another wrote.
‘Let’s just park with our high beam on, no hazard lights, and run onto the dark road on a corner with nothing reflective,’ another joked.
‘Weird situation. Would love to know the story behind it,’ a fourth said.
‘Just having a nap in the middle of the road,’ another wrote.
Western Australia Police has been approached by the Daily Mail Australia for a response.
In some countries, sites like that are staged so that you will stop, and then they can rob you. Typically, women are targeted while men hide.
It looks like an attempted alien abduction, but when the aliens realised they had an Aussie they threw him back out.
It’s said that kind, compassionate people are greatly disadvantaged in life since they are unable to recognise negative traits in others.
I would always put myself in a good but sceptical mindset, and I always think about how bad the situation is and then weigh up if I wanted to help them. Kind of like a risk assessment. Take it for what it is because safety is number one before I give any help.
Bad guys use these tricks to get people to pull over and offer help, no different from any other country. Advice would be not to stop driving. Wait till you’re far enough away and then safely stop and call the police.
Watching the video, it looked like something out of The Blaire Witch Project movie.
It came across as an eerie sight. What could it be, it didn’t say.
It looked like someone was maybe being dragged, and the other people involved looked like they were on the ground. This was definitely a strange, dark and mysterious story form. However, it’s not a very clear video.
