Several reports last week have indicated an erratic driver potentially targeting vehicles on Highway 3 late at night. 

One source, who asked to not be named, said that she was driving from Yellowknife to Fort Simpson last Thursday with her partner when they passed a truck sitting on the side of the road with its headlights on. 

She said as they passed she saw a guy with long black hair standing on the passenger side of the vehicle on the other side of the road. As they drove passed, they saw the truck turn around to follow them. 

She said even as they drove fast down the highway SA国际影视传媒渉e was flying after us.SA国际影视传媒� He followed them for about 20 to 30 minutes, she said, until they eventually lost him around the intersection of highways 1 and 3.

She said she was initially too scared to report the incident to the police, but when she saw another Facebook post about a similar situation between Behchoko and Yellowknife, she decided another call would add weight to the severity of the situation and put pressure on the authorities to look into it. 

She suspects the man is targeting women.

When she called the police, they said they would check the highway cameras. She identified the vehicle as a black SUV.

Linda Croft, who works at the Big River Service Centre outside of Fort Providence, said she wasn't working over the weekend so she didn't see anything, but she has been hearing about the incident and the Facebook posts have been circulating.
