In Florida, authorities encountered a man who allegedly wrecked a stolen BMW at speeds exceeding 100 mph, claiming he had “teleported” into the car. This unusual incident was captured on bodycam footage, showing the man, bloodied and disoriented, next to the crashed vehicle.
Identified as 36-year-old Calvin Curtis Johnson, the video reveals his struggle to articulate how he found himself driving the stolen BMW. When questioned by a Volusia County sheriff’s deputy, Johnson stated, “I don’t know how I got in the car. I teleported or something.”
Pressing for clarity on the vehicle’s origins, the deputy received the same baffling response. Johnson reiterated, “I don’t know. I teleported.”

A witness at the park told deputies he saw a confused-looking man get into the car.
“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?”
A bystander who saw the crash told deputies the BMW appeared to reach 130 mph before crashing, and that rescuers had to cut Johnson out of the wreckage.
Johnson is facing charges of grand theft of a motor vehicle and driving with a suspended license. (Volusia Sheriff’s Office)
Some onlookers shouted at Johnson before walking away.
As a deputy handcuffed him to a patrol vehicle, Johnson exclaimed, “You saved me from the aliens!”
Johnson was taken to a hospital and will be booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail on charges of grand theft of a motor vehicle and driving with a suspended license.
Deputies reminded motorists to lock their cars while enjoying parks in the area.
