"Looking for a book I read in high school around 1996."

Nightmare by Willo Davis Roberts

"The story was about a boy named Nick driving when a guy fell off an overpass and fell onto Nick's windshield and died. A friend of Nick's had seen two other guys on the overpass at the time of the 'so-called' accident and still the police didn't spend any time looking into the investigation, so they had called it an accident. Nick knew it couldn't have been an accident, because he'd seen the face of the guy when he hit the windshield and he'd said he knew the guy didn't want to die. At the scene of the accident Nick's neighbor, Daisy, was there. She'd found something down the road a way. The two guys on the overpass had seen Daisy pick up what they'd been after. Days later Nick was going to go on a road trip in his parents' R.V. to visit his brother. Daisy wanted to go to her sister's, but knew her parents wouldn't let her, so she stowed away in the bedroom of the R.V. when Nick took off on the road. Nick didn't find her until he was out of the state, so she had to go along. They ended up going to the dead guy's hometown, on the way to dropping Daisy off at her sister's, to talk with the dead guy's wife in case she knew anything that could help Nick prove it was murder and not an 'accident'. During the whole trip, the two 'murderers' had been following Nick and Daisy everywhere they went."
