A Florida man told highway troopers he saw 'the anti-Christ' moments before crashing his pickup truck on Interstate 75 north of Tampa, then sprinted past paramedics and tried to climb into the medical helicopter that had landed to airlift his two injured victims.
Riley Johnson Ferrer, 28, faces one count of burglary of an occupied conveyance and three counts of resisting an officer without violence after the predawn crash on 19 June near Mile Marker 295 in Hernando County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol arrest report. The story drew national attention as another 'Florida Man' headline, but the paperwork tells a different one. Troopers documented signs of 'irrational behaviour' consistent with an acute psychiatric event behind the wheel, not a stunt.
