Birmingham Radiographer returns to work after crawling over the finish line at the London Marathon.

After a dramatic finish at the London Marathon 2019 British athlete Hayley Carruthers has been back at work in the West Midlands.

She collapsed to her knees inches from the finish line, before crawling over with a new personal best of two hours, 34 minutes and three seconds.

Hayley is a radiographer at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham and returned to work on Monday putting out a tweet in her NHS uniform.
