A crazed, naked man stole a large transport truck truck and led police on a half-hour chase through rush-hour traffic after allegedly threatening to blow up a bridge.

Just before 6:30 this morning a nude man appeared at a Pitt Meadows farm, where he stole coveralls and a white 15-ton truck.

“[People at the farm] confronted him, but he was acting so erratically that common sense prevailed and they just backed off,” said RCMP traffic services spokesman Const. Dave Babineau.

A call from the farm alerted police, who pulled the truck over on 203rd Street in Pitt Meadows. When officers approached the truck, the 49-year-old driver uttered a threat, Babineau said.

“What he did say was he was going to go blow up a bridge and they’d never catch him,” Babineau said.

Police backed off and followed the truck at a distance, because they didn’t know if the man was armed or had explosives, Babineau said.

The man drove over several police spike belts, made three U-turns on the Lougheed Highway and finally stopped after rolling backward down a hill on Lougheed near 232nd Street.

He fled the truck and an unmarked police SUV struck the man in the road, sending him tumbling over the hood and off the windshield.
