And a chaotic scene in Secaucus over the weekend as more than 100 cars took over a busy intersection early Sunday morning.

In a dangerous and illegal stunt that quickly escalated into a confrontation with police, authorities said people were driving recklessly, doing donuts while onlookers recorded it.

Now, responding officers said they were swarmed by more than 50 people when they arrived, with some climbing on marked vehicles, damaging them.

Others launched fireworks at and under the police vehicles.

It was all reminiscent of a deadly 2022 incident in Wildwood, where dangerous driving at an illegal car meetup killed two people.

No one was injured at the Secaucus incident, but police compared it to a riot.

A social media account that shared video of that Secaucus event also recently posted about a similar meetup in an industrial part of Newark.

You can see it there.

State lawmakers passed a bipartisan bill that would crack down on these sort of pop-up events through the assembly last year, but it stalled in the Senate.
