Police are looking into what they have identified as an illegal street takeover event, which involved blocking a major intersection in Plymouth Township, Pennsylvania. This event, taking place over the weekend, involved hazardous stunts and numerous fireworks.
Several cars were filmed as they “spun uncontrollably in the intersection,” with some passengers dangerously hanging out of the vehicles. The participants then fled when police arrived on the scene on Sunday night.
According to a press release issued by the Plymouth Township Police Department on Tuesday, they began receiving multiple calls about street racing at the intersection around 8:03 p.m.
Several vehicles recklessly drove donuts in the middle of the road as a large crowd of spectators approached the intersection, police added.
Approximately 50 to 100 people, including the passengers involved, witnessed the event but fled before law enforcement arrived, according to the police.
“None of the operators of the vehicles, nor any of the civilian spectators were contacted by the police,” the department said, adding that they are seeking help from the public in identifying those involved in the car meet-up.
