Street treated like a ‘racetrack’
What they're saying:
Surveillance video shows a red Nissan driving west on 16th Street, swerving into oncoming traffic, before it rear-ends a Jeep and smashes into the city bus. Neighbors said, unfortunately, they're not surprised.
"Why are you driving like that?" Darreon Woods said when he saw the video. "This person is swerving lanes, looked like they doing about a good 60 (mph) maybe, minimum."

"When you’re driving like that, you’re putting everybody at risk. There’s no reason to be swerving lanes like that," said Woods. "Where is your value in your life?"
