look testified that he was approaching the 90-degree right-hand turn of chappaquiddick road at around 12:40 a.m. where it intersected with two unpaved roads. as he approached the turn he noticed the headlights of a car coming toward him in the opposite direction on chappaquiddick road. the other car reached the 90-degree turn in the road before look got there; the car was a black four-door. it passed slowly in front of look and his headlights shone directly into the passenger compartment. he could clearly see a man driving and a woman in the front seat. the time was about 12:40 a.m. the car then failed to follow the paved road and instead drove straight off the pavement and onto cemetery road, where it stopped. look made a right turn continuing on chappaquiddick road and looked in his rear-view mirror, thinking that the occupants of the car might be lost. he then stopped, got out of his car, and walked towards the other vehicle in full deputy sheriff uniform. when he was away, the car reversed and started backing up towards him. look called out to offer his help. the car then moved forward and veered quickly eastward onto dike road, the other unpaved road, speeding away and leaving a cloud of dust. look recalled that the car's license plate began with an l and contained two 7s, both details true of kennedy's license plate on his black four-door oldsmobile delmont 88. look knew that the car was headed to a dead end at dike bridge and the sand dunes that lay beyond it, impassable in a two-wheel drive vehicle. however, he returned to his car and continued on his way south. he recounted the next morning to edgartown police that he believed that the car which he saw at 12:40 a.m. was in fact the same car that the police found in the water off dike bridge containing kopechne's body.
