A 28-year-old Florida man told troopers he thought he saw the anti-Christ before losing control and crashing his pick-up truck early Friday morning on I-75 in Hernando County, according to multiple news reports.
Then the man tried to steal a medical helicopter that was called to the scene, investigators said.

Jail records show the man is charged with unarmed burglary of an occupied conveyance and three counts of resisting an officer without violence.
Multiple news outlets reported, based on information from investigators, that the man was headed north on I-75 when he lost control, traveled off the road, hit a car on the side of the highway and flipped into the woods.
The man and woman who were in the sedan stopped on the shoulder by the guardrail were seriously hurt when the truck hit their car.
The highway was shut down to allow a medical helicopter to land, but as first responders were tending to the patients, troopers said, the driver of the pickup ran past them and tried to open the pilot’s door to steal the helicopter.
Troopers and first responders were able to stop him. He was checked out by medical personnel and then taken to jail.
