Plymouth Half Marathon: Car driven into path of runners


Recommended Posts

The actions of a woman who drove on to the route of the Plymouth Half Marathon have been described as "disgusting".

 

Lorna Empson, a marshal at the race, said the driver was trying to get on to a main road and claimed "there was no other way out" due to road closures.

 

"People were not happy with her, [and] I cannot blame them as she could have caused a serious accident," she said.

 

Local MP Luke Pollard said it was "very silly" in light of terror attacks where cars were used as weapons.

Eh, roads are for driving on. I do not understand why people feel the need to ###### up someones day just to do some pointless jogging. There are plenty of fields and parks to get that ###### done.

Hope you missed out the /s :rolleyes:

 

Saw this on Imgur last night. I sometimes wonder what goes through the mind of these people to think this is acceptable....if she was going into town...should could have just walked and if it was further out, I find it hard to believe there wasn't an alternative route. 

 

The man with the cone was trying so hard :P

 

Edit - Worth pointing out that the language in the video is colourful and NSFW

I'd like to hope the police have her done for dangerous driving or something. I can't believe that she was 100% blocked in there, the people who organise these types of things spend the entire year to make sure this kind of thing does not happen.
