STOCKTON, Calif. (KOVR) - Along a busy California off-ramp, there was a sight that could make anyone do a triple take.
“I’d freak out, you know? And that’d be the first thing I do, actually call 911,” Chris Akers said.
Drivers spotted what looked to be a body and several limbs floating in the water. Fortunately, it was all just plastic mannequins.
California Highway Patrol responded to the scene after receiving a 911 call from a trucker who had spotted the mannequin carnage.
