A naked carjacking suspect was caught after reportedly causing two separate car collisions that injured seven people and shut down multiple roads in Scottsdale on Friday afternoon, officials said.
The man who caused a three-car collision at Hayden Road and Via De Ventura in Scottsdale is believed to have carjacked a blue Toyota Prius that moments later caused another multiple-vehicle collision about 2 p.m. at 90th Street and Shea Boulevard, said Bruce Dressel of the Scottsdale Traffic Management Center.
Police received a call about 1:30 p.m. about the first collision at Hayden and Via De Ventura, where three people were hurt, said Sgt. Mark Clark, a Scottsdale police spokesman.
Witnesses said the man collided into a Porsche, causing it to crash with another vehicle, and then got out of his car, took off his clothes, jumped onto a vehicle and started chanting and singing, Clark said.
The suspect then approached the Prius of a female driver, pulled the woman out of the car and went northbound on Hayden Road, Clark said. The woman was not injured. The man in the Porsche was ejected on impact and sustained serious injuries, but they are not life-threatening.
Police believe the suspect then attempted to drive the Prius eastbound on the westbound lanes of Shea when he collided with three other vehicles, Clark said.
Witnesses said the Prius rolled multiple times before the suspect was ejected through the windshield, rolled onto the pavement, and then attempted to carjack an SUV, Clark said.
The suspect was taken into custody and taken to a hospital to be evaluated for drug use or any mental issues. He could face carjacking and felony hit-and-run charges, Clark said.
Four people were injured at the second scene. One pregnant woman sustained two broken legs, one person sustained serious injuries, and two others sustained minor injuries.
As of late Friday afternoon, Shea Boulevard was shut down and officers were redirecting traffic westbound of 92nd street. All cars traveling eastbound on Shea were being directed onto Loop 101, Dressel said.
Scottsdale police also are investigating the carjacking and collision at Via Ventura and Hayden and have closed that intersection.
Dressel advised using Scottsdale Road to avoid these areas.
