Driver climbs on roof of van, crashes

READING, Pa. - A Reading man whose minivan crashed after he climbed on its roof while driving about 55 miles per hour is in fair condition this weekend.

 

Police in West Reading say the 38-year-old man later stripped naked and led them on a chase along the highway.

 

Authorities are not identifying the man, who is not charged.

 

He remains in a Reading hospital recovering from what witnesses call a deep gash in his side.

 

Police say they used Taser jolts and pepper spray during the chase Friday but only subdued the man when they tackled him.

Teen wolf, a movie I haven't seen in years. If that had come out before Back to the Futrure, Michael J. Fox might not have become as big a star as he did lol.

I'm tempted to say he was drunk, but a taser and pepper spray having no effect.... Sounds more like PCP or meth.

Yeah, PCP was what I was thinking. I've witnessed a man on PCP get beat down by 5 cops and keep right on going like nothing had touched him.

I don't remember if he said anything lol, I was about 16 or 17 at time time and standing in line to go to a movie, "The Philadelphia Experiment" I believe when it all happened right in front of the theater.
