The driver of the vehicle got out on his own and walked toward Bloomington Avenue. Police and firefighters searched for the man until after 8:00 a.m. Saturday, but were unable to find him. One witness reported the man appeared intoxicated. The driver was described as wearing a light blue T-shirt and gray shorts.
