Record-breaking crowds cause chaos at Tybee Island's Orange Crush festival.
More than 50,000 partygoers attended the annual unpermitted Orange Crush event on Georgia's Tybee Island, overwhelming police officers and causing chaos. Seven people were injured in a car crash, and one woman was shot in the back. Nearly 12,000 vehicles and between 40,000 to 50,000 people were on the island, causing gridlock, traffic accidents, crowding, drug and alcohol abuse, noise complaints, illegal parking, and litter. Mayor Shirley Sessions plans to work with federal and state legislators for future events and find better solutions.
