One person was struck by a car and spectators watched drivers power-slide around a ring of fire Thursday on a night of multiple street takeovers in Orange County.

In Buena Park, video showed a spectator fall to the ground before he was struck by a car late Thursday night at the intersection of Valley View Street and Artesia Boulevard. It was not immediately clear whether he was injured, but the stunts continued until police arrived.

In Anaheim, spectators doused the middle of South Sunkist Street and Cerritos Avenue with a flammable liquid to create a circle of fire. Some jumped inside the fire ring as drivers performed stunts around the flames.

The crowd left as police arrived. It was not immediately clear whether anyone was arrested.

Another street takeover was reported in Costa Mesa.

It was not immediately clear whether anyone was arrested.

In August, a resident with what appeared to be a machete confronted people at a street takeover near Haster Street and Orangewood Avenue in Anaheim. Police say they arrived at that scene just minutes after the first 911 call, but by then the group of drivers and spectators was gone.
