Man in a bedsheet dodges I-55 traffic

When a McComb motorist lost control of his vehicle last week, officials say he went darting in and out of traffic, making his way up the interstate wearing a bedsheet.

Authorities told The Enterprise Journal that the man was headed north on Interstate 55 when he lost control of his white Chrysler PT Cruiser, which ended up facing south in the left shoulder of the northbound lane.

The man was wearing a bedsheet and underwear, and got out of his car and started making his way up the interstate, darting in and out of traffic, The E-J reports. It is unclear where he was going.

The man, who reportedly has not been taking his medication, was not identified. Officials said he was not injured in the accident.
