2 People Injured in Crash on Orangewood Avenue [Anaheim, CA]

2 People Hospitalized After Crash on Orangewood Avenue in Anaheim

Anaheim, CA (November 1, 2024) – Early Friday, two people sustained injuries in a crash on Orangewood Avenue.

The incident occurred at 2 a.m. at the intersection of Orangewood Avenue and State College Boulevard, where hundreds gathered with cell phones and costumes to watch drivers perform burnouts and donuts.

During the event, the driver of a black Dodge Charger lost control, spinning into the crowd and hitting two men, both 19, from Orange and Lancaster. 

Emergency responders transported the injured men to the hospital with serious injuries, and both were reported to be in stable condition.

Following the collision, police quickly impounded the vehicle and began searching for the driver, who had fled the scene after the crowd attacked the car.

Although street takeovers have declined from 1,700 reported incidents in 2020 to over 700 in 2024, tracking them remains challenging for law enforcement. “In the past, these events were organized openly on social media,” explained Anaheim police officer Sgt. Jacob Gallache. “Now, organizers use platforms like WhatsApp and other private apps to coordinate these takeovers.”
