Task forces, mobile apps, and joint law enforcement efforts are happening across the country as states deal with an increasing number of illegal drag races and street takeovers.
Street races usually happen randomly between drivers on streets or interstates, but police say they can result in others joining in and blocking off intersections while racing, drifting, and doing donuts or other stunts. They can also put traffic on hold for hours, and the drivers can be dangerous to approach. "Back in December of 2017, my daughter Valentina was killed due to a young man that was giving her a ride home and engaged in an impromptu street race" Trujillo said.
Wyatt Martin is the Houston Police Department Assistant Chief. He says these illegal street races are becoming more common. "There is not a day that goes by, where it seems like you don’t hear about a young person being seriously hurt or even killed in one of these events" Martin said.
