A bystander was hit by a car speeding away from a street takeover in Anaheim, leaving him with serious injuries Wednesday.

Police arrived at Rio Vista Street and South Lane where a crowd had gathered to watch a street takeover.

As one other vehicle sped away, the driver struck a bystander.

The driver was arrested.

The bystander, who was standing in the street, suffered a broken leg.

The driver of the red Mustang was also taken into custody.

Neighbors say they are fed up.

"They need to get a life," Bret Welton, who lives nearby, said. "It's people getting hurt. It's not funny. It's not a game. People and automobiles don't mix together when they are out of control."
