Witnesses: Drivers did donuts, crowds threw eggs during street takeover near St. Mary’s Hospital
Witnesses say more than 100 people gathered in Richmond's West End early Sunday morning to watch cars race and do donuts in the middle of an intersection and at least one person who tried to leave the scene says she was pelted with eggs and chased by the crowd.
The incident took place between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. at the intersection of Libbie and Patterson avenues.
A woman who was driving home after delivering flowers to a friend at nearby St. Mary's Hospital captured the scene on video.
"I tried to turn right to get away from the scene, and when I did that, people on the side of the street that I turned on threw eggs at my car, and I was going rather slow, just in case something was to happen or a car was to zoom past me, and they were screaming profanities and were chasing after my car," she said.
