Police are investigating a fatal crash in which a 71-year-old part-time Delray Beach resident was struck by two vehicles while crossing State Road A1A on Wednesday night.
The crash occurred just before 8:30 p.m. in the 2000 block of South Ocean Boulevard in an area of the roadway that is currently under construction.
Delray Beach police said the woman, whose identity was not released, was in a newly constructed crosswalk in between the north and southbound lanes when she was struck first by a northbound vehicle and then by a southbound vehicle. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The section of A1A was closed for about two and a half hours as police investigated. The drivers of both vehicles stopped and cooperated with police, who are continuing the investigation.
The fatal crash comes less than two months after a bicyclist on A1A in Boca Raton was killed after he was struck from behind by a Chevy Equinox shortly after 7 a.m.
The driver involved in the Dec. 15 accident was charged with DUI after police said he failed sobriety exercises.
