As millions of Americans watched elections returns in angst Tuesday night, hundreds of people in Burbank had better things to do – a car enthusiast flash mob anyone?
Shortly after 7 p.m., car enthusiasts overtook the expansive Empire Center parking lot, prompting Burbank police to request assistance from Los Angeles, Glendale and the California Highway Patrol as they attempted to disperse a crowd estimated at one point to be more than 1,000 people.
It took police until nearly midnight to clear the parking lot – process that clogged surrounding streets as the massive crowd moved out.
No injuries were immediately reported, but several drivers were cited and at least one motorcycle was impounded.
