"I look over and I see a yellow ATV just come up on the road," Fishell told KCTV-TV. "I said, 'Dude, you're gonna get arrested on the highway.' He was naked. It's something my grandma used to say: Naked as a jaybird."

Fishell said he found it odd that the driver remained calm during the incident.

"I couldn't be that calm in public naked," he said. "I'd be freaking out having an anxiety attack."

No other injuries were reported.
