Two men accused of street racing at speeds exceeding 100 miles an hour on the Watterson Expressway earlier this week have been released after their arrest, but they won't be getting their cars back anytime soon. 

LMPD said officers also found a Samurai-style sword in the dash of one of the cars. 

In October 2023, LMPD said four people had died in the last year in street racing-related crashes.

There was chaos on New Cut Road near Iroquois Park early Sunday morning. Video shows cars doing burnouts in the street, which brought traffic to a halt.
