ACT Policing is seeking witnesses and dashcam footage of an incident involving a black Mazda SUV and a traffic controller working as part of Summernats near EPIC.
About 12:30 pm on Friday (3 January 2025) police were called to the intersection of Northbourne Avenue and Flemington Road after reports that the driver of a black Mazda SUV allegedly drove at a traffic controller conducting duties for Summernats.
The Mazda is believed to have driven down the bike lane prior to traffic control members attempting to re-direct it into the queue of traffic. An argument occurred between traffic controllers and the driver of the Mazda, and it’s alleged the driver has then driven at a traffic controller before coming to a stop.
The driver of the Mazda was subsequently arrested and will face court at a later date.
At the time of the incident, there was a large queue of traffic and members of the public were observed filming the incident.
Police are asking anyone who witnessed the incident or has footage of the incident to come forward.
Anyone who can assist ACT Policing is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Please quote reference number 7942928.
