‘Street Takeover’ Stunt Sends Bystanders Flying in Compton [WATCH]

Footage of a vehicle striking multiple pedestrians during an illegal “street takeover” in Los Angeles went viral Monday, showing a car doing donuts before reversing at high speed, jumping a curb, and hitting people gathered at a Compton intersection at about 2 a.m., according to KTLA-TV.

The video, recorded during the early-morning gathering, shows a large crowd watching as a driver spins the vehicle in tight circles at the intersection.

Moments later, the car rapidly reverses toward spectators, mounts the curb, and collides with several individuals standing along the sidewalk.

People can be seen and heard reacting as the vehicle makes contact.

Audible gasps are heard in the clip as witnesses rush toward the area where the impact occurred to check if anyone was hurt, KTLA reported.

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said deputies did not respond to that exact scene.

The spokesperson said deputies were called around the same time to a separate “street takeover” approximately three miles away.

By the time deputies arrived at that location, the crowd had dispersed.

It was unclear if anyone was seriously injured in the Compton incident, and authorities did not immediately release information about the vehicle’s driver.

The video shows the car maneuvering within feet of spectators before accelerating in reverse.

As the vehicle jumps the curb, several people are struck and others scramble to avoid being hit.

The clip then captures bystanders converging on the sidewalk and street, with some gesturing for space and others leaning over those who appear to have been knocked down.

The scene unfolds over seconds, with traffic in adjacent lanes visible as the crowd reacts.

The location described in reports is a Compton intersection commonly used by large groups for late-night gatherings.

In Monday’s incident, spectators lined the sidewalk and corners as the car circled.

After the impact, the footage shows confusion at the edge of the crowd and people calling out to determine if medical help is needed.

No official tally of injuries was provided in the immediate aftermath.

The Sheriff’s Department said its call for service shortly after 2 a.m. was tied to a different gathering several miles away and that deputies found the scene there already empty when they arrived.

The department did not specify whether it received subsequent reports connected to the collision shown in the video, nor did it release details on potential suspects, vehicle descriptions, or impounds linked to the Compton intersection.

Witnesses’ reactions in the clip emphasize the speed at which the collision occurred and the close proximity between the reversing car and spectators along the curb.

The video shows at least one person falling after contact with the vehicle, while others stumble or jump aside.

Some individuals in the crowd take out phones and lights to illuminate the area as they assess the situation.

Authorities did not immediately announce arrests or identify victims.
