Summary
- Man claims to see anti-Christ before causing a crash.
- He then attempted to steal a medical helicopter.
- The suspect faces burglary and resisting officer charges.
A bizarre incident unfolded early Friday morning on Florida's I-75, where a driver, Riley Ferrer, lost control of his pickup truck after reportedly seeing the anti-Christ. The crash sent his vehicle and another into the woods, seriously injuring two occupants of the second vehicle.
As paramedics worked to assist the injured, Ferrer bypassed security and attempted to board and steal the BayFlight medical helicopter. His efforts to commandeer the aircraft were unsuccessful, highlighting a security concern for air medical services at crash sites.
Ferrer was taken into custody and later booked into the Hernando County Detention Center. He has been charged with burglary of an occupied conveyance and multiple counts of resisting an officer without violence.
