Beth Rigby has shared a terrifying incident where she was ‘nearly run over’ hours before a General Election event . The Sky News presenter, 48, explained she had been running in Grimsby before the near-fatal incident. Beth was due to host the live Sky News debate with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer that day, ahead of the General Election on July 4.
Speaking on her podcast Electoral Dysfunction , Beth explained: ‘The night before, I woke up at 5am, like fully awake like, “Oh I’m doing this thing,” and I can feel the adrenaline in my body, so I was like, I’ll go for a run. ‘And I stayed at this place and I went down this track and it was a little loop, and you go to the main road. It was a private road, like a farm track, and you run back.
’ She went on: ‘So I’m running along with pumping music on, can’t hear a thing, and I go, “Oh I’m coming to the end of the road”, and I went to turn around. ‘As I turned I nearly ran into a moving car, so I nearly got run over.’ The Sky News leaders’ event in Grimsby was almost a car crash – but not the kind anyone was expecting ð @BethRigby shares with @RuthDavidsonPC and @MargaretHodge how she nearly “got run over,” that morning.
