She drove her Ford Focus through a traffic cone to try and cross the route, claiming that she couldn’t find another way.

A man tried to stop her but she kept on going until a group of runners stopped in front of her. A council officer ordered her to stop during the event in Plymouth, Devon. She said: ‘I can’t get out…listen, I have tried to get out every which way. I have a workshop in Okehampton. I have had no information…I went very slowly.’

People around were clearly shocked and can be heard swearing at the woman – with one runner yelling she could have killed someone.
