A motorist stripped naked and went on a crazed carjacking spree in the US, causing road closures, several crashes and leaving seven people injured.

John Brigham, 45, allegedly first crashed his car into a Porsche, at about 1.30pm last Friday in the city of Scottsdale, Arizona.

The driver of the Porsche, which crashed into another car, was seriously injured when he was thrown from the vehicle.

After the crash, Brigham tore off all his clothes except for his socks, jumped onto the roof of a SUV and began screaming and chanting, US media reported.

He then ran through traffic, approaching a Prius and pulling the woman driver out before speeding away.

Witnesses said other motorists had to swerve out of Brigham's way. He crashed into four other vehicles while driving in the wrong direction at high speed.
