May 30, 2023 - Fresno Police Department officials report on reckless driving in Fresno.

There are a lot of great ways to celebrate Memorial Day weekend.  Reckless driving is not one of them.

Sunday evening, Fresno Traffic Unit officers responded to multiple calls for service related to illegal sideshows at various location throughout the city.  The largest event was located on Blackstone and Bullard involving over 300 vehicles and spectators. 

Officers witnessed several vehicles doing burnouts while spectators watched and recorded with their phones.  Officers dispersed the crowd.  Some of the vehicles regathered in a nearby parking lot at Blackstone and Sierra.

Officers were quickly diverted to the second location and conducted several traffic stops for reckless driving and operating vehicles with illegal modifications.  Multiple vehicles were impounded from both locations.

Participating in sideshows and reckless driving is illegal and is not tolerated in Fresno.
