A naked Florida man threw a commute into chaos last week after he scampered across several highway lanes and hopped on the bed of a semi-trailer, according to Abc7’s report.
Stunned Sarasota drivers stopped to watch the mayhem on Interstate 75 at about 4 p.m. on June 30 and posted footage of the incident to social media.
Adding to the turbulence, the unidentified nudist executed his dash and mount amid driving rain and moving vehicles.
Some concerned drivers phoned 911 and deputies took the man into protective custody.
“We were able to transport him to a local hospital for a mental health evaluation,” said Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Douglas Johnson.
“While we don’t know what may have precipitated this man’s actions, it’s apparent that he was exhibiting abnormal behavior,” Johnson told Fox 13. “This was a very dangerous situation for the man and the motorists traveling the interstate at that time. We’re thankful we were able to resolve the situation safely.”
