DARIEN, Conn. - Police said a naked man "yelling that he was Jesus" was the catalyst for a five-vehicle accident on I-95 North in Darien, Conn., that injured three and slowed traffic for around six hours.

Darien Police Sgt. Jeremiah Marron said police responded to reports Saturday that a nude male was causing a disturbance on I-95 north.

Police say a distracted driver caused the tractor-trailer to slam its brakes, jacknife and careen into four cars before flipping over.

Rescue workers extricated the driver of the tractor-trailer, whose legs, arms, hand and head were pinned in the doomed vehicle.

The naked man, whose name was not released, was later pulled by police.

It was not immediately known if he has been charged.
