Tybee Island's Orange Crush Weekend: Chaos and Injuries, but No Fatalities or Property Damage.

The unpermitted Orange Crush beach party on Tybee Island attracted nearly 50,000 people, causing chaos, traffic accidents, crowding, drug and alcohol abuse, noise complaints, illegal parking, and litter. A crash and a shooting occurred during the event, and there were 10 overdoses. Tybee Island Mayor Shirley Sessions said they were limited in what they could do to control the event as it is a public beach, but they will work on better solutions going forward.
