Woman Knocked Out After Being Hit By A Car Doing Donuts & Sent Flying Through The Air During A Street Takeover
When you play stupid games, you tend to win stupid prizes. Those are the rules. I didn't come up with them and they're fairly universal.
There aren't many things as stupid as standing on the street near a car that's doing donuts. A California woman attending a street takeover - also not the brightest idea - found this out the hard way last weekend.
She wasn't nearly as nimble as she thought she was while attempting to get out of the path of a spinning car as it headed straight for her. Rather than turn and run, she tried a backpedal method that isn't recommended in such a situation.
The backpedal method failed her and, as a result, she was clipped by the car. She was then thrown through the air a few feet before landing hard on the street below.
That's a really tough way to find out that you're not nearly quick enough to avoid a car spinning around in the middle of the street.
The woman lands on the pavement and rolls onto her back. She appeared to be knocked out cold as other street takeover attendees rushed to her aid. That's one way to spend a Friday night.
The Woman Being Sent Flying Wasn't The Only Fun Had During The Early Morning Street Takeover
It's unclear if she sustained any serious injuries or not, but there were no reports of any injuries when police arrived on the scene at the intersection of Crenshaw Boulevard and West 63rd Street in Los Angeles' Hyde Park neighborhood around 3:30 am.
The woman being sent flying through the air and knocked out cold when she returned to earth wasn't the only excitement during this street takeover. A jeep was also set on fire.
There's video showing gasoline being poured on the jeep before it ignites, then a celebration of sorts with a car doing donuts around it while it burns in the middle of the street.
When the police arrived, the fun had already ended, and they couldn't possibly be expected to arrest anyone, so they didn't. I'm sure a thorough investigation is being conducted as we speak, and they're hot on the trail of a suspect or two.
