Another Charged In Deadly Wildwood Car Rally, Cops Seek More Involved

WILDWOOD, NJ — Another individual is facing charges related to the unsanctioned H2Oi car rally in Wildwood that killed two people and injured more, officials said.

Zion Diaz, 18, was arrested and charged with one count of riot after a court-authorized search warrant was executed on his Hammonton home, Cape May County Prosecutor Jeffrey H. Sutherland and Wildwood Police Chief Robert Regalbuto said Wednesday night.

Diaz was released on a summons pending court proceedings, Sutherland and Regalbuto said.

According to Sutherland, Diaz told others during the Sept. 24 rally to block intersections, do "burnouts" (keeping a vehicle stationary and spinning its wheels to produce smoke) and block police cars from responding to emergency calls.

Two others have already been charged in connection with the rally.

Additionally, officials are seeking the public's assistance in identifying a male subject and a black Honda Accord and its driver.

"The male in the dark hooded sweatshirt was involved in an aggravated assault on a police officer and the Honda Accord was involved in the motor vehicle crash with a low-speed vehicle (golf cart)," Sutherland and Regalbuto said.

The Honda Accord has a "distinct aftermarket tail light package" and should have significant damage to the front passenger side quarter panel, according to officials.
