Illegal sideshows continue to be an issue throughout California and many other parts of the country. As we reported earlier today, a particularly dangerous sideshow that attracted dozens of vehicles was held on the 1000 block of Oak Street in Oakland.
During the course of the event, a silver Nissan 370Z was set alight and left to burn to a crisp. Video shared to Twitter shows the 370Z engulfed in flames before the driver of a Subaru Outback proceeds to ram into the burning sports car on multiple occasions, all while attendees at the event film and cheer the driver on. The male behind the Subaru can then be seen appearing to ditch the car on the side of the road, perhaps suggesting that it had been stolen.
Speaking with the San Francisco Chronicle, police in Oakland said they contained several vehicles in the area of the wild sideshow and are investigating the incident. At one stage, an unidentified man lit fireworks into the crowd of vehicles.
