A part of Australia's biggest horsepower festival had to be shut down on Saturday because people crowded onto the roadway and refused to get off, leading to attendees being dispersed across Canberra and police resources being stretched.
An ACT Policing spokesperson said about 6pm on Saturday, organisers closed the internal cruise circuit within EPIC, triggering "a significant increase in poor behaviour within the venue" with spectators and drivers refusing to comply with security officers' directions.
