PHOENIX -- Some Valley drivers received a surprise early Friday afternoon when a naked man started throwing clothes at them, authorities said.Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman Bart Graves said the man is standing in the median off the southbound Interstate 17 to the eastbound Interstate 10 at the stack transition.Graves said the man's actions were apparently the result of a collision, though he did not have further details."For some reason this man decided to remove his clothes and throw them at passing vehicles," Graves wrote in an e-mail.Traffic cameras from the Arizona Department of Public Safety showed several highway patrol cars and a fire truck surrounding a black vehicle.Video showed officers wrapping the man in a blanket, and it appeared as though authorities closed a small section of the left lane.Graves said he wasn't sure if the thrown clothing belonged to the man.Fire crews eventually transported the man to an area hospital.
