A woman plunged at least five stories to her death Sunday when the bridge she was walking across opened, West Palm Beach police said.
It happened about 1 p.m. as the woman, who has not been named by authorities, was walking her bike on the Royal Park Bridge, which connects West Palm Beach, at Lakeview Avenue, to Palm Beach.
“The woman tried to hang on. There was a bystander nearby who tried to help her, but tragically she fell five or six stories below where she died landing on concrete,” West Palm Beach police spokesman Mike Jachles told WPTV-News Channel 5.
