Continuity mistake: After Jeff has kicked and punched Barney, he is lying on the ground and blood is covering his mouth and nose and is staining his blazer. When he gets up, the blood patterns have changed and his blazer is no longer stained.
Cop at Gas Station: Had you had a fight recently?
Jeff Harriman: Not a fight, a thing.

Answer: He is a crew member lying in the road directly behind the brown G.R.S. Dye Works semi-truck (presumably trying to remain hidden from the camera's view), and we even see his right hand waving off the traffic ahead of him (00:22:05).
