It should be immediately obvious to anyone and everyone that street takeovers are exceedingly dangerous events, and anyone even remotely close to the action can very quickly be injured. Now, we’re watching as one street takeover participant almost learns that lesson the hard way, as seen in a recent viral video featuring a Chevy Corvette and Chevy TrailBlazer.
Per the video description, it appears as though this particular takeover occurred in Chicago. The scene looks like it’s an abandoned lot behind some industrial park, rather than an actual public intersection, with large steel containers on one side of the skid pad.
As the video gets underway, we see a Chevy Corvette side past onlookers by the steel containers, reversing towards the edge of the crowd as fire shoots out from the centrally mounted quad exhaust tips. A Chevy TrailBlazer is on the pad as well, backing it up alongside the Vette as tire smoke pours from the rear tires. The crowd inches forward, camera phones lifted to catch the action.
As the two cars start to gain traction, we see the Chevy Corvette whip around towards a group of onlookers who had walked out onto the pad. The Chevy Corvette owner doesn’t seem to care, laying into the throttle and sliding the Vette into a donut. The crowd scatters, but one onlooker in a puffy red jack appears to lose their footing, falling down directly next to the Corvette. Another onlooker rolls across the hood of the Vette.
Miraculously, neither of the onlookers appears to be hit by the two vehicles as the latter transition into tandem donuts. As the two Chevys spin, a thick cloud of tire smoke billows into the air, all while a drone hovers above the scene.

Of course, we’ve seen plenty of videos where the outcome isn’t quite as lucky, including videos of onlookers getting run over and cars getting crumpled. One video even showed an onlooker lighting a car on fire. Like we said – takeovers are exceedingly dangerous.

GM Authority should be ashamed for even continuing to give these types of activities social media clout. Just because there is a GM vehicle involved does not make you the authority, nor does it require you to post about it. I for one did not subscribe to see this type of crap.
Not the drivers fault. Everyone in that crowd knew what was happening and volunteered to be there in the middle of if. Driver probably never knew either
