COMPTON, Calif. () — Video from a chaotic street takeover in Compton appears to show a person being struck by a car as the driver did donuts in the middle of an intersection.
The street takeover happened late Sunday night at the intersection of Alameda Street and Greenleaf Boulevard.
Despite video showing hundreds of people gathered at the dangerous event, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said no arrests were made, and it received no reports of injuries.
Officials say the fallout from chaotic street takeovers often spawns a dangerous wave of violent crimes. Eyewitness News recently did a ride-along in Compton with a special operations team targeting street takeovers.

“They can lose control, hit people, hit businesses,” said David Murray, a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputy who is part of the special operations team.
“Anything from vandalism, assaults, shootings, a lot of these street takeover events involve stolen vehicles,” said Captain Victor Puebla, who leads the sheriff’s department’s Compton Station.
