A video posted to Facebook by Herbert "Hub" Burnett, pastor at nearby New Free Will Baptist Church, showed the aftermath, several Champaign Police squad cars blocking off the intersection of Eureka and 5th.

"It's bad," Burnett said. "I'm a two-time war vet. If I say it's bad, it's bad. All these wrecked cars ... all these wrecked cars."

It capped a turbulent night in Champaign.
