PALM COAST, Fla. - A Florida man reportedly crashed into a house after allegedly seeing a "shadow in the road," Sunday morning and attempted to hide from deputies when they arrived at the scene, according to the Flagler County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities said they arrived at a home in the "B" section of Palm Coast and were told by a witness of the crash that the driver – later identified as 18-year-old Aidan Sauco-Maldonado – had run away from the area after slamming a truck into the home.
Maldonado was found a short time later and reportedly smelled of alcohol. He told deputies the shadow was the reason he swerved off the road, the sheriff's office said.
He was arrested on charges of driving under the influence, crashing into a residence and running from deputies.
I would say that I consumed the alcohol after the crash while in a state of confusion and panic.
You go Florida Man!

The Shadow knows!
The start of a Steven King novel...
Your remark made me think of an old Stephen King short story from his “Night Shift” book. In the story, a group of teenage kids swam out to a floating platform in the middle of a large lake. Then they discovered that a large, blob-like creature was lurking under the platform, waiting to gobble up any kid who dared to swim back to shore.
