Placing her own life on the line, a Florida State Trooper in her SUV positioned herself between a speeding suspected DUI motorist and throngs of unsuspecting runners participating in the Skyway 10K on Sunday.
Ignoring road detours, Sarasota woman Kristen Kay Watts, 52, in a BMW 335i reportedly sped through several checkpoints, weaving through cones, barricades, and officers. Watts then headed northbound on Highway I-275 toward the race, where nearly 7,000 participants and scores of support staff presided on Sunshine Skyway bridge at around 8:45 a.m. for the yearly event.
