The adverse outcomes of street takeovers have been well documented, and one of the most recent dangerous situations took place Thursday night in Buena Park.

At about 11:30 p.m. in the intersection of Valley View Street and Artesia Boulevard, a spectator found himself in the path of a silver sedan doing donuts. As he tried to get out of the way, he slipped, and the back of the car sends him sliding across the blacktop, video shows.

Authorities have been seizing vehicles used in takeovers, but the trend continues, likely because those involved aren’t learning their lesson, Landrum said.

Law enforcement agencies in Southern California, including the Los Angeles Police Department, made 6 arrests and issued dozens of citations during a two-day operation to crack down on illegal street takeovers.

The LAPD announced Tuesday that, in addition to the arrests, officers issued 82 citations, 34 vehicles were impounded, and “numerous” takeovers were either disrupted or stopped before they could get going.
