I set out for Florida on the evening of Thursday the 11th of April.
When traveling to Florida, I usually cross the Mississippi River leaving Arkansas on the Helena / West Helena Bridge, then south on Highway 61 in Mississippi, then south from Clarksdale on Highway 49-E to Greenwood, then Highway 82 from Greenwood, Mississippi to Montgomery, Alabama.
From there, Highway 231 through Dothan, Alabama into Florida, then taking I-10 and Highway 27-19 into Central Florida.
Anyway...Getting back to the wild encounter, it happened on Highway 61 between the turn off for the Helena Bridge and Clarksdale, Mississippi at around 10:30 or 11 o'clock at night.
Highway 61 runs out of Memphis and runs along the western side of Mississippi.
It is a four lane highway very much like an interstate highway, and has a speed limit of 65 mph.
Not long after proceeding south on Highway 61, I noticed headlights ahead of me in the night way up ahead didn't look right. Those headlights were to a car speeding north toward me in the southbound lane.
Immediately, I made a quick stop and pulled off onto the emergency shoulder. That's when the car went speeding by northbound in the southbound fast lane.
I noticed the distant headlights of several cars a couple of miles back approaching. Whether that car ran head on into any of them, I don't know.
I did call 911 on my android phone to report it.
