LOXAHATCHEE, Fla. - Officials at a South Florida safari say a woman, wearing an open robe, drove her car through the park and then sped away.

A Lion Country Safari official said the woman made comments Wednesday that terrorists were coming to kill the animals. Park employees called authorities and secured the park, but she drove off. The woman was not identified.

No one was injured.

The park's marketing director, Jennifer Bethume, says they always say it's "wild" at the park, but no one anticipated such an incident.
