Hicks Road Phantom Cars, The White Truck
The Urban legend
People driving Hicks Road at night report being followed by vehicles that don’t behave normally:
- Headlights suddenly appear behind you on empty stretches
- The vehicle closes distance way too fast, like it’s not bound by normal speed
- Sometimes it tailgates aggressively… then vanishes
- In some versions, the car never passes, just stays behind you
This lines up with a broader category of folklore known as phantom vehicles or haunted highways, where drivers report ghostly cars, repeating headlights, or impossible movement patterns .
Variations specific to Hicks Road
Locally, these stories blend into the road’s bigger mythos:
- Some say the “phantom car” is tied to past deaths or accidents
- Others say it’s connected to the albino colony / cult legends
- In more extreme versions, the car is a warning… not a threat
There’s also crossover with classic road legends like the “killer in the backseat” or “high beams” story, where a pursuing car seems threatening but has a hidden meaning .
The White Truck
This is probably the most famous Hicks Road vehicle legend:
- A white truck appears behind you at night
- It starts following… then chasing
- It may flash lights, speed up, or try to run you off the road
- Some versions say it’s driverless
- Others say there are pale figures riding in the back
Locals have been repeating this one for decades.
“They chase people out”
The white truck is often tied directly to the broader Hicks Road myth:
- Outsiders who drive too far are “escorted out”
- Sometimes aggressively
- Sometimes silently
Accounts even describe cars and trucks chasing visitors off the road as part of the legend
