If only this were a complete shock…

Last weekend Wildwood, New Jersey was host to a street takeover event where two people were killed. Also called “sideshows” these street takeover involve a group of people coordinating over social media to descend on a public intersection or sometimes a large parking lot, shutting it down so they can do burnouts, donuts, and other tricks. These events bring in all kinds of crime and are dangerous for the attendees and any innocent citizens who happen to come across them.

According to a report from the Associated Press, this event involved several car crashes. Many of the vehicles used in street takeovers are stolen, so they’re treated about how you’d expect, meaning crashes are common. Compounding this problem is the fact kids want to get the best photos and video of the cars performing stunts, so they stand right by them and that’s usually how people are killed. But this time it was different.
