Naked man dies after jumping on cars along Florida highway

TAMPA, Fla. -- A man found running naked along a busy highway in Tampa died after officers tried to subdue him, authorities say.

Officers were called to Dale Mabry Highway in Tampa early on Wednesday after reports that the man was seen jumping on cars and acting irrationally. 

He was banging his head on the windshields of cars, CBS Tampa affiliate WTSP reported.

Officers were able to subdue the man and transport him the hospital, where police said he later died.

 The man may have been under the influence of drugs, Tampa police said, without providing details on what caused his death, WTSP reports.

The incident shut down lanes heading south on the highway for several hours. Police later tweeted that the highway reopened in all directions.
