Can't drive 55...on the roof

Let's see...drugs, alcohol, crazy, or a combination of all three?
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.

[...]

Police say they used Taser jolts and pepper spray during the chase Friday but only subdued the man when they tackled him.
You know, I have a lot of respect for law enforcement officers, but there are certain aspects of their jobs that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemies. Like tackling nude wackos.

Sounds unpleasant.
