Cities have had to face the problem of illegal street racing for almost as long as cars became a part of our daily lives. In more recent years, however, California and other states are now dealing with the problem of street takeovers.
Street takeovers usually happen when a group of individuals and spectators decide to close down a street or intersection. While the traffic is at a halt, they perform dangerous stunts that otherwise disrupt the flow of traffic anyway and put innocent bystanders at risk.
On Tuesday, May 26th, the Anaheim news blog, New Anaheim, reports that such a takeover event happened at the intersection of Harbor Boulevard and Katella Avenue in Anaheim at approximately 12:20 a.m. Authorities with the Anaheim Police Department are searching for one of the participants in the takeover that was involved in a hit-and-run incident involving a vehicle and a male pedestrian.
