PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — A woman riding a bicycle was struck and killed at the intersection of Okeechobee Boulevard and Haverhill Road in a hit-and-run late Friday, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said. Two people later were arrested.
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue responded at 11:56 p.m. and the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
The unidentified woman, who was riding northbound within the western crosswalk at the intersection, was struck by a black car going eastbound on Okeechobee at a high rate of speed, according to the crash report released Sunday.
The left front of the vehicle impacted the left side of the bicycle/bicyclist.
The driver fled the crash scene at approximately 96 mph in a 45 mph zone, according to the crash report.
A few hours later, the suspect's vehicle, a 2007-2008 Hyundai Tibura. was located about 2 miles east at Manor Drive and Okeechobee, and then positively identified as involved in the crash, spokeswoman Teri Barbera said.
The Hyundai had extensive damage to the left front and a large piece of the left front bumper cover was missing.
Barbera said both occupants were arrested on non-traffic-related charges.
The crash report doesn't list the occupants' names.
