Initial data
Driving South on highway 89 a few miles South of Cayenta, Arizona, at about 60 mph.
A man dressed all in white appeared in the middle of the road 40 feet (12 m) ahead. Rolled to a stop, but did not have time to avoid the impact.
I searched the area and the car and found nothing. The bright moon is light, so there was a good view of a large area. No sound of impact.
After half a mile, the engine and headlights fail. Interior lights, brake lights, emergency lights, radio-all dead.
Checked the battery with PTO and flash and registered 0 volts. They escorted the family to safety on the highway and returned to the car to get blankets. Interior lite turned on, checked the battery again, and registered 12 volts, so we continued. Checked the engine voltage at the next stop with the lights on and found 14 volts with the engine running.
After returning to Denver, I checked the battery, cables, generator, and other wiring and found nothing unusual. It is believed that the main fuse failed and then somehow short-circuited itself to restore power, but the fuses showed nothing (burn marks, etc.) This car served for many years after the accident, and nothing like this ever happened again.

Summary: Driving south on HWY 89 a few miles south of Keyenta, AZ at approx 60 MPH. A person dressed in total white appeared in the middle of the road, 40ft in front. Skidded to a stop, but not in time to avoid hitting the person. Checked the area and the vehicle and found nothing. Bright moon lite, so had good view of a large area. No sound of impact as if I had hit something.
Left area. 1/2 mile later, engine dies and headlites fail. Interior lites, brake lites, emergency flashers, radio are all dead. Checked battery with VOM and flashlite and registered 0 volts. Escorted family into a safe area off highway and returned to vehicle for blankets. Interior lite came on, checked battery again and registered 12 volts, so we continued on. Checked engine voltage at next lighted stop, and found 14 volts with engine running. Upon return to Denver, checked battery, cables, generator, other wiring and found nothing unusal. Considered a main fuse breaking, then in some way shorting itself to regain electrical power, but fuses showed nothing, burn marks, etc. Had vehicle for many years after event and nothing similar happened.
