More than 50 cars were involved in a street takeover in downtown Los Angeles early Saturday as some went up in flames, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Video shows a car completely engulfed by a fire, sitting in the middle of an intersection as a thick black cloud of smoke rises from the vehicle. Other cars can be seen as they try to drive around the inferno.
LAPD said several vehicles were impounded after authorities responded to the area near East 18th Street and Main Street, where participants intentionally set two of the cars on fire.
Firefighters received a call about an auto fire around 3 a.m., sending two fire engines as LAPD officers were also sent to the scene to investigate, according to the LA Fire Department.
No one was arrested, police said.
Yes, it was.....and....no one arrested (likely).
That crash happened in Monterey Park...East of Downtown LA...The street take over happened in the area south of Downtown Los Angeles...Not a good area to live in...
Monterey Park is not a bad place to live in...Compared to South Los Angeles...
That crash in Monterey Park involved a Hispanic family...Monterey Park is mostly Hispanic and Asian...
From the west side of Monterey Park to just south of downtown LA is only about 3 miles apart.
