Video shows cars doing donuts, fireworks, and what appears to be something on fire at the intersection of Broadway and Mississippi.

DENVER — No arrests were made, and no citations were issued after an “illegal street takeover” late Friday night and early Saturday morning, according to a Denver police spokesperson.

Video captured by neighbors at the intersection of Broadway and Mississippi and shared with Denver7 shows cars doing donuts, fireworks, and what appears to be something on fire in the intersection.

“The reckless driving and blocking of an intersection seen in the videos are incredibly dangerous and concerning,” DPD spokesperson Doug Schepman said in an email to Denver7.

One person who had posted video of the incident on Reddit said their apartment faces the intersection and shared their account of the late-night incident with Denver7 in an email. They said cars started parking along Mississippi and in a nearby dirt lot just before midnight.
