A woman walking her bike across a drawbridge that connects the mainland to Palm Beach fell to her death Sunday when it began to rise.
The woman was within 10 feet of the barrier arms that halt traffic when the drawbridge started to move, according to police.
Police said investigators are trying to figure out whether the bridge tender followed procedure or if the woman crossed after the signals were down,"There are crossing arms. There are warning signs and there are safety procedures in place for the bridge tenders to follow, with multiple steps and multiple layers of checking to make sure that there are no cars or people on the bridge when it goes up," said Jachles.
