Street Takeover

The City of Compton said a crash that killed two women Sunday night was not associated with a street takeover, but neighbors and witnesses are disputing that claim as they say dozens of people were at that intersection at the time of the crash.

NBC 7’s Dave Summers looked into startling stats concerning dangerous so-called “street takeovers.”

Traffic came to a halt Sunday evening at a busy Mission Valley intersection during a street takeover that resulted in one person being hit by a car.

San Diego police said an onlooker was reportedly struck, but the person took off before police arrived to the scene. Two people were arrested.

A street takeover brought huge crowds, fireworks and at least one person willing to climb to the top of a street sign to a Compton neighborhood Sunday night.

Police are asking for help to find the people who pulled a driver from a cargo truck and stole furniture from the trailer at a street takeover in San Bernardino.

The Orange County District Attorney’s office is teaming up with actors Sung Kang and Cody Walker, to warn people against driving too fast and too furious.
