VALLEJO, Calif. (KRON) – It was a busy scene in the North Bay — Police responded to several sideshows and illegal fireworks explosions this past weekend in Vallejo.
Videos posted on social media show hundreds of people taking over the streets.
These videos are shocking. They show fires, cars spinning dangerously close to crowds, one showing two people actually getting hit by a car.
Police say it was a very busy night for them as they received more than 600 calls for service. Some city leaders are also weighing in, calling the sideshows shameful and destructive.
Hundreds of people took part as rings of fire were set and cars were seen speeding and spinning donuts.
Graphic video shows two of those spectators getting struck along Broadway and Illinois.
Police say at least 11 sideshows broke out across the city Sunday night. Gunshots from automatic weapons rang out from the crowds and a Vallejo police spokesperson says responding officers were met with fireworks being thrown at them.
