Wildwood Mayor Pete Byron said Saturday night's pop-up car rally remains under investigation.
Vehicles crash into pedestrians during unsanctioned auto eventAt least two pedestrians were killed following a pop-up car rally in Wildwood on Saturday and a 37-year-old man has been charged with their deaths, according to the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office.
One of the pedestrians, Lindsay Weakland, 18, of Carlisle, Pa. was pronounced dead at the scene. A passenger in the Civic, Timothy Ogden, 34, of Clayton, was taken to Atlantic City Medical Center but later died from his injuries, police said. NJ Advance Media saw three damaged vehicles at the scene of the fatal accident near Bagel Time Cafe on Atlantic Avenue near Burke Avenue, where one of the cars had struck the building. A SUV from the state medical examiner’s office was also on site.
Multiple videos taken at different angles on Rio Grande Avenue show a car speeding through an intersection before crashing into another vehicle and then losing control and hitting a low-speed vehicle, similar to a golf cart, knocking some of its passengers from the vehicle.allowed under state law “We were standing on Atlantic, and a car came speeding down the street going like 80 miles per hour and he ran like four red lights and then we just heard a big bang, like a loud crash,” she said. “And then everybody started running down so we went down to the corner and we saw the car up on the curb and they had a sheet out already.”
“There is much to still be learned about the reckless chaos that has descended about our streets this weekend,” Donahue said in a statement.” Believe me, a thorough investigation is underway and there will be criminal charges brought and the organizers of this lawless mayhem will be held accountable.
