With her own car, Florida trooper Toni Schuck blocked a driver speeding toward a crowd on Tampa Bay's Skyway bridge, closed for a 10k run. Schuck, who is recovering from her injuries at home, may have saved many lives: the driver was charged with DUI.
"There was no time to think. You have to act. Without question, she was the last line of defense," said Trooper Ken Watson on Monday afternoon.
Investigators said Watts was driving in a BMW while intoxicated and was arrested on suspicion of DUI. They said she was speeding on Interstate 275 while the race was underway around 8:45 a.m. Sunday. Troopers said she sped toward the road closure at U.S. Highway 41, but ignored the detour set up to direct drivers away from the race.
