Wild video shows a man holding onto the back of a pickup truck as it drove on the Massachusetts Turnpike in Boston Tuesday morning.
The man can be seen hanging off of the vehicle before dropping down onto the highway.
Olban Santos, who recorded the video, said the man tried to get inside the truck several times.
“I tried to honk at the guy, but the guy didn’t pay attention, he just drove off,” Santos said.
The video shows the man holding on for at least 10 seconds before dropping off, picking up his lost shoe and moving on to the next vehicle.
“He tried to get into some other car, and that’s pretty much it,” Santos said. “And the car there, they drove away.”
Massachusetts State Police said they responded just after 10 a.m. to Mile Marker 134 on Interstate 90 eastbound after a report of a person having a mental health crisis.
In addition to the incident recorded on video, police said the man had jumped onto the hood of a Massachusetts Department of Transportation vehicle before troopers arrived. MassDOT said it did not have any information about its equipment or personnel being involved.
“I was surprised, and I was like, ‘Damn, that is not normal,’” Santos said.
Police said the man was taken by Boston EMS to a nearby hospital to be evaluated.
