WILDWOOD, N.J. (CBS) – Another arrest has been made after an illegal car event in Wildwood that killed two people and injured others in September. The Cape May County Prosecutor's Office says they've arrested and charged 18-year-old Zion Diaz of Hammonton.

Investigators identified him as someone who reportedly instructed cars to block intersections, do burnouts and block police from responding to emergency calls the weekend of Sept. 24.

Additionally, investigators ask for the public's help in identifying another person.
