The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said the woman was hit while crossing Canal Street N. and NW 2nd Avenue at 5:39 a.m.

The victim was identified Monday as Mercilia Seiole, but it's unclear if she is from the area.

Investigators said it will have extensive damage to the front passenger side, including the windshield.
