In the latest series of sprawled naked men, a man in Zhejiang threw himself onto the highway and waited for the next to car to pull up. A woman in a black Mercedes-Benz noticed the man and quickly reversed to turn into the next lane. However, the naked man proceeded to roll back towards the reversing car.
Police arrived at the scene shortly after the incident, and noticed there was something off about the entire situation. After taking the man to the station for questioning, police learned that the man was a 31-year-old from Henan province who was recently released from prison for pretending to be run over by a Toyota.
What the man attempted is pengci: the deliberate staging of an accident in order to receive compensation from the drivers. Often, the scammers throw themselves in front of cars on the road to make it seem as though they had been injured.
While some have mastered the art, this man's primary mistake seems to have been rolling back towards the vehicle. The reasons why he decided to strip are also unclear.
