BRENTWOOD \u2014 A 17-year-old girl had to be airlifted to a local hospital Tuesday evening after she was run over by her own car while trying to “ghost ride,” a car stunt popularized in the East Bay, police said.<\/p>\n

“Ghost riding” typically entails a car owner walking or dancing alongside or on top of a vehicle that is idling forward without a driver. The stunt has local origins, particularly in the Bay Area rap scene radiating from Oakland and Vallejo.<\/p>\n

The injured girl was “performing a horseplay maneuver” as her 1980s-model Chevrolet Blazer idled along about 6 p.m. near San Jose Avenue and Stonewood Drive, said Brentwood police Sgt. Mark Misquez.<\/p>\n

With music blaring from the vehicle, the girl apparently was standing on a footstep on the driver’s side while the SUV crept forward, Misquez said. At some point she slipped, lost her grip and fell to the ground, and shortly after the vehicle ran over her upper legs, he said.<\/p>\n

The girl appeared to be performing the stunt alone and was not as a part of an impromptu sideshow, a sort of street corner exhibition where the ghost riding the maneuver is done along with other car stunts such as “doughnuts”\u2014 quickly driving in a circle.<\/p>\n
