Who is the man and what are his intentions ? Image Credit: Pixabay A mysterious stranger is at the center of an ongoing criminal investigation in Nebraska where he has been connected to multiple road accidents and is now thought to have been directly causing them.

One of the accidents involved Garrison Beach and his wife Skylar who left the road on Highway 36 out of Bennington recently after swerving to avoid hitting a large piece of metal that had somehow ended up in the middle of the road.

After exiting their vehicle and making their way back up to the highway, they were met by a mysterious man who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere and who proceeded to offer them assistance.

The incident echoes at least three others to have occurred on the same stretch of highway - each involving an anomalous object in the middle of the road and each involving the same strange individual appearing out of the blue to offer assistance to the victims.

Police investigating the cases now believe that the man in question likely caused the accidents in the first place."They're the first person there to help out and call 911, so in their mind, they're a hero, but they are causing these crashes," said Capt. Eric Sellers with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.

Things would go on to take an even stranger turn when an unidentified individual - believed to be the same man - called into a local news station pretending to be Garrison Beach and asked that the story about the accident be taken down.

In total, he left three voicemails requesting the same thing.

"I just think it's crazy that we're at the point of someone calling in and impersonating me on the phone to try and get the story taken down," said Beach.

"That clearly wasn't me making the phone call."

A police investigation into the mystery remains ongoing.
