I’m Guessing Substances Were Abused

I will go out on a limb and guess that alcohol and/or drugs were involved.
A Reading man climbed atop a moving minivan Friday on the West Shore Bypass, stood on the roof and rode the vehicle until it crashed and catapulted him into the woods, West Reading police reported.
Witnesses told police that the man then climbed up an embankment, stripped naked and ran several hundred yards down the busy highway bleeding from a foot-long gash in his side.
My favorite quote from the story is this.
“I’ve never seen anything like this in 22 years,” West Reading police Detective Joseph M. Brown said of the 3 p.m. incident. “It is not a common call we get as police.”
It’s not common to get a call about a man riding on top of his van, crashing, and then stripping naked before running down the highway? Who’d a thought?
The other obvious observation.
Brown said the investigation continues and police are awaiting the results of toxicology tests.
I bet they are. Bizarre.
