One year in the defunct Danbury Crit in CT, a driver went through or around 3 sets of road blocks (saw horses, detour signs, etc) and past 2 sets of marshals who were yelling and chasing this slow moving vehicle. Went backwards around the course, in a section with 4 hard turns in about 200 meters (i.e. no line of sight) one of the riders plowed into the car, bounced off the hood. Driver was surprisingly not drunk, just old.

I hear there was a similar incident here once, an old driver got on the course, and I think it resulted in her license being revoked..
