A new viral video shows a Chevy Corvette filled with joyriders reversing into a police cruiser at a street takeover event.
The viral video was recently posted to social media, and based on the markings on the police cruiser, it looks as though the event occurred in Chicago, Illinois. The video opens to show a dark city street, where we see an individual dressed in black standing in front of a police cruiser, their arm outstretched and their hand up as if to signal to the police vehicle to stop. In their other hand is what appears to be a phone. In the background, we hear the squeal of burning rubber.
Looking at the scene, it appears as though this video was captured at a street takeover, also known as a sideshow, wherein participants block off a street intersection to perform stunts like donuts and burnouts. It’s not uncommon for folks to show up to these illegal events in stolen vehicles, and it’s also not uncommon for vehicles to be destroyed in the chaos.
As the video gets under way, the camera pans over to the intersection, where we see a C7-generation Chevy Corvette slide around backwards. In the trunk, we see several individuals hanging out the back of the Corvette, seemingly enjoying the danger as the driver whips the sports car around. We then see the C7 Corvette roll backwards – right towards the Chicago police cruiser.
As the Corvette rolls backwards, we see the individual standing in front of the cruiser notice the Vette coming towards them at the last second, putting their hand down as the rear end of the Chevy hits them in the hip. The rear bumper of the orange Vette then smacks into the cruiser, and the individuals in the back of the Corvette proceed to hit the hood of the police vehicle with their fists.
The video then cuts off, and it’s unclear exactly what happened next, or if the folks at the takeover faced any consequences.

Poor impulse control or intermittent explosive disorder. They turned a simple minor Improper Lane Usage ticket into a major felony. Possibly attempted murder. Why not use the empty Target parking lot across the street and do donuts there? Stupidity.
They need to be home reading The Bible and doing their homework.
Rabbi, god smites everyone in there who sleeps with unclean women. It’s okay to sell your children into slavery. Everyone is smote who plants two different crops side by side.
We used to call it stupidity. You don’t need any fancy names to label this behavior. Lock em up.
Ah yes, the low class people of Chicago. I could have guessed it without even reading the article. Being from the suburbs of this sh*tty town, I sadly read these things too often, and worse they usually get away with it.
