A Florida man who allegedly crashed a stolen BMW<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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

“I don\u2019t know how I got in the car. I teleported or something,” he told a Volusia County sheriff\u2019s deputy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When asked again where he got the vehicle, he repeated: “I don\u2019t know. I teleported.”<\/p>\n
