POLICE SAY THE CALLS STARTED COMING IN TO 9-11 AROUND 6:30 THIS MORNING THAT A MAN WAS WALKING ON THE ROADWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON I-25, BUT BY THE TIME THEY MADE IT OUT THIS WAY, IT WAS TOO LATE. 'I can tell you it's not a good place to be at 6:30 in the morning, that's for sure.' DRIVERS ON NORTHBOUND I-25 NOTICED SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY ON THE ROAD THIS MORNING.
