A Florida man who allegedly crashed a stolen BMW at what was described as more than 100 mph told deputies he had "teleported" into the vehicle when they found him bloodied and dazed beside the wreck, according to bodycam footage.

Calvin Curtis Johnson, 36, can be heard in the video struggling to explain how he ended up behind the wheel of the stolen car.

"I don’t know how I got in the car. I teleported or something," he told a Volusia County sheriff’s deputy.

When asked again where he got the vehicle, he repeated: "I don’t know. I teleported."

"He kept asking for a light," the witness said. "I thought, how does he have a BMW if he doesn’t even have a lighter for a cigarette?"
