An elderly woman fell 50 feet to her death after being caught on a drawbridge when it opened.
The woman, who is still to be officially identified, was crossing the Royal Park Bridge from Palm Beach to West Palm Beach, in Florida, when the tragedy happened last Monday, said police.
She was “walking her bicycle” and had got to within 10 feet of the barrier arms to stop traffic when the drawbridge began to rise and she began to slip down the gap.
