Video shows fights and trash at the Orange Crush Spring Break event
Spring break reached a new height outside Savannah, Georgia, as several violent fights broke out despite increased police presence.
Thousands flocked to Tybee Island this past weekend for the annual Orange Crush gathering… and it didn’t take long for chaos to break out. Videos from the party weekend show scores of drunk attendees doing everything from littering to getting into fights.
Check it out… you see a group of women complaining about each other while one fighter rips off another’s swimsuit. Only a few intervene in the brawl… instead opting to film the fight on their respective cell phones.
Partygoers also wreaked havoc on the island’s picturesque beaches…notably with large amounts of rubbish ending up in the sea after being dumped on the sand.
Heading into Spring Break weekend, Tybee Island increased its police presence…with officers stationed at all street locations. Recall that Savannah State University severed its ties with Orange Crush in 1991 after violent incidents and a drowning accident marred the festival.
The party weekend returned in 2020… before taking another break due to the pandemic. Now Orange Crush is back – seemingly wilder than ever… with tens of thousands of people overrunning the 3 mile long island.
Significant Bob Holley from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources tried to paint a more peaceful picture of the weekend. He said WSAV3 … “We have a little bit more of a presence, which gives people a little bit of a safer environment. I think when there’s a good law enforcement and public safety presence, people can relax, and when they can relax, things tend to go well.”
